stringfollies

Wisconsin string auditions are heard by the entire string faculty (which is 9). Maybe others too.

i think the whole string faculty listens to usc auditions, too.

i know the whole bass faculty listens to bass auditions at juilliard.

i wouldn't write the audition committee members thank you notes... i'd write one to a professor you got a trial lesson from though.

This is starting to make sense to me now, and, as usual, I should take the cue from my son who always acts out of sincerity. I think his objection was to writing a thank you note to faculty who were there to listen, but did not interact with him much. To him that seemed somehow forced or false. The thank you at the time of the audition was fine and enough. If you feel a genuine desire to thank more formally, then it's right.

My son emailed thank you's to all his adjudicators, and most of them emailed very nice messages back.

I decided not to, but I think it's mainly because at the only place I auditioned (NEC) I saw the dept. head the next day and thanked him in person.
