This may be a slightly long winded question, but I'm pretty sick of waiting for college decisions at this point, so I'll ask anyway....
I told my interviewer that I was a member of the Youth Wind Ensemble in my area. He did not hear me correctly, or misunderstood, and thought i was in the Youth ORCHESTRA.
The orchestra plays at once concert with my state's philharmonic orchestra, and the wind ensemble plays with a professional concert band. The interviewer told me he had seen me with the philharmonic, and if we got to talk to the musicians at all. At that time i didn't realize he thought i was in orchestra, so I answered as if he had asked about the band...
Other than that the interview went fine.
About a week ago, he sent me an e-mail saying that he was going to see the Youth concert with the philharmonic, and he would like to meet in the lobby afterward. I promptly returned his email explaining that I was in the Wind ensemble and that we played with a professional concert band, not the philharmonic. He never responded...
SO, my question is, how much of an idiot does he think I am? Also, does he have any say at all this late in the process? Does he know the decisions for the candidates he interviewed?
