At the end of the Bach choral season in the spring, we have re-auditions. This allows Albert (the conductor) to review what he's got, and compare it to any potential new members auditioning. This year, I didn't hear back from Albert in a timely fashion. Around mid-summer, I got a phone message from him asking me to call back. I did, and left him a message. Then later, another.
I took the fact that I got a phone call rather than an email as a negative sign. Not hearing back was another. Finally, I got the email that confirms that I'm not in the core group for this season.
Sigh.
