Victory!
It is with extreme excitement that I can officially report that my sister Alicia won the competition yesterday and will be starting her first big-time official symphonic gig with the Oregon Symphony. This is such huge overwhelmingly fantastic news. Alicia’s been working hard and taking auditions furiously since she graduated from college. She’ll be playing 2nd chair and will be starting up in August.
She’ll play for a year and if everyone’s happy she could pull a tenure spot.
Join me in Congratulating Alicia!
Yay!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Does this mean you’ll become an Oregon resident??
yes!!!
Congratulations, Alicia! That’s amazing news!
Omg grats!!!!!!!

Though I did quit taking auditions for a couple years…. it’s been ten years since I started. I think this was like my 30th audition.

Marina

Dear Alicia,
if I’m ever in or near Oregon, Mike D has promised to give me your whereabouts so I can surreptitiously locate you and be that guy yelling after the Orchestra performance.
Because you’ve broken all our hearts by moving so far away…
Regretably yours,
Sander
HAHAHAHAHA!!
She is moving farther away from all of you…. but closer to me!
Yesssssssss!
Congratulations!! If Ryan and I ever move to Portland, we’ll have to hang out
