Craig Morris, the new principal trumpet of the CSO, was the last man standing at the first audition they had, but he didn't get enough votes to get the job. He was unable to attend the second audition, and then went to the third audition and won the job. Persistence pays off!

Craig and I worked in Sacramento together, and he's truly an amazing player.
