Thank you for this resource! I just wanted to drop by and let you know that they changed the audition date for both horn auditions in Pittsburgh from June 17th to July 10th.
Thanks Byron! I will make those changes on the Job Listings page.
Thanks again for the page. Dallas should say Jan. 6th for both positions. Just a heads up.
Thanks! Will make those changes.
