How could I have been so stupid??

The audition I was supposed to have today... was yesterday. I misread the day, so I've missed my audition for the youth orchestra, which means I won't be playing in one this year. Oh well, I was considering not going for it, so I guess this was just my inner conscience saying "Don't Audition, work on your solo work instead"

I'll have to work extra hard now to get this chamber group set up, just so that I have something to do.

Don't be too hard on yourself, Ben. It happens to the best of us. Like you said, use this as an opportunity to focus on other things, like a chamber group.

Oh my gosh, what an awful thing to happen! At least you weren't totally set on being in the orchestra...I'm really sorry.

Don't worry, we all do something to that effect sooner or later. I missed an award ceremony once for me! I'm sure there'll be more to come : )

I've finally realized that everything happens for a reason... even things that at the time we may think are completely aweful! So don't worry!

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I've had a similar experience with a scholarship audition...thought it was at 488 Oak Avenue rather than 488 Oak Street. It happens all the time, so get used to it (or so my teacher says.)
