Ben Pierce (U of Michigan DMA student, winner of Falcone tuba Artist and euphonium artist competions, though not in the same year) was given a tentative yes, and his performance throughout the year will be a continued "audition".

There were 16 candidates, 7 from U of M, a few from EMU and some local tubists.

the first and only round:

Mahler 1 solo
end of Fantastique (from long Eb)
bydlo

that was it. It didn't even go below the staff once! after playing these three Ben, unlike the rest of us, was asked to continue with a couple extra excerpts and, of course, impressed the comittee.

the A2SO is playing Tchaik 4 and Petroushka this saturday. Prof. Kaenzig is filling in for this concert.
