Re: recent no-hire auditions
We had an audition with no hire. I personally recommended not hiring anyone because in the first round NONE of the players who made the final round played the whole note for full value. It was a six count low E for bass trombone... very easy, but they all clipped it. We just subbed it out... all season.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.
