From the GRS:

Thank you for auditioning for placement on the Grand Rapids Symphony’s substitute violin list. At this time, you will not be added to that list. I will keep your resume on file and contact you as future auditions are scheduled. The committee asked me to encourage you to re-audition in the future. Thank you for your interest in the Grand Rapids Symphony.

So … at least they didn’t say, "You are a horrible person for wasting our precious time. Please sell your instrument to someone more deserving and never show your face in our presence again."

It’s back on me. All it takes is some practice 😉
