Need a "safety" choice -- accomplished with the oboe

sorry to persist, I only meant that there are 2 orchestras, thus slots for 8 oboes…the devil is in the details, but I was trying to keep things simple! Some schools have more than 2 ensembles (orchestras, symphony bands, etc), and so more spots available…others (CIM, Curtis) have fewer…To return to my original post (and the original poster’s question) the main thing is to ASK the admissions people how many spots are available, and then to be very realistic about what makes a “safety” choice.
