<p>Reported to me, not observed first hand.</p>
<p>Yep. Lots of cellists there today. The call back list for cellists goes up at 7:15pm.</p>
<p>Supposedly was warm/muggy in the practice room and equally warm in the audition room - but no change from room to room, which is nice for a strings player. Piano in tune and pianist only missed one cue so that was nice (a welcome change from other accompanists.)</p>
<p>At 3:00 or so, Hodges was reported to be making origami swans for the little siblings of cellists auditioning upstairs. </p>
<p>So net, net: climate was warm and people were warm today.</p>
<p>Prospective opera students were sighted as well. Many tall ones I’m told.</p>
<p>Crowded and a little behind today for the cellists but smooth.</p>
<p>4:45 now … 2 hours 30 minutes …</p>
