I have not. I wish I was the caliber of these contestants! I could throw my academic life away and practice trumpet all day, but I don't think that's a sustainable plan, either, since even if I practice 10 hours a day and start winning these competitions, there will always be someone better than me -- to get that one orchestral job that I needed to keep myself fed. I'm not too interested in the pure performance and competing with others. I want to spread and share the passion of music by being a teacher. Nonetheless, I have auditions coming up and I'm preparing hard for those! It sucks that it coincides with the robotics season... Anyway...
