These days it seems more times than not, an orchestra won't pick anyone after an audition. This has happened to me personally at least five times. This is very annoying since taking an audition is not only a costly endeavor, but also a tiring and time consuming one, among other things.
Regardless of the reasoning that orchestras have for not picking someone, I was talking with a friend recently, and we were discussing how it has become somewhat common to see in a job advertisement something along the lines of "Please do not take this audition if you do not plan on taking the job after winning." How hypocritical. There should be a response line that says, I'll take this audition if you plan on choosing someone.
