Pretty hard to put a screen around an orchestra musician as they are rehearsing with the orchestra in order to see if they are a good fit.
More to a good orchestra musician than just reading music and sounding good playing it.
A friend tried out with the San Francisco Symphony some many years ago and never got past the initial 'screened' audition.
That there are additional steps in the process, makes sense. It's not like they're going to pass the employment contract over or under a screen.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
