Audition (for show) when accompanist messes up

I had about five schools mess up my legit uptempo pretty bad. At the end, I have a sustained high C and they all kept playing a C# in there somewhere, which sounded like I was off. At some schools, I warned them (CMU, Syracuse and Pace) and they played absolutely perfectly, while it made no difference for other schools. I never tried to blame the accompanist but I always left feeling like the auditors now thought I was sharp and I couldn’t tell pitch.
