Once again, you are assuming that the person asking the question equates going "pro" with "winning a job in a major symphony orchestra or military band". Not the same thing at all. I believe the rest of us "experts" think that being a pro means earning a living playing (which usually involves a certain amount of private instruction) the tuba. As far as winning an audition goes, the consensus is that there is a certain measure of chance involved...even though you're an amazing player, and played a flawless, musical audition, does the commitee want YOUR sound for the job...did they like YOUR interpretations over someone else's...did you happen to get the flu the week before....etc.
