JimBobTTD Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Hi I had an audition the other day for a band. It went well and I thought it would be good. They had a couple of other guys trying out. The guitarist told me that he hoped that the others would be no good, as I would fit in well. However, a couple of days later, he said that the other bassists were not up to snuff but that the other chaps in the band "wanted to try out some more bassists". I interpreted this as a brush off. Just received a message asking whether I can come to a rehearsal on Wednesday. So...what the hell is going on? Do they want me because they want me, or because they don't want everyone else? Do I go along or not? Edited November 18, 2009 by JimBobTTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotnwhy Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 only one way to find out go along to the rehearsal, if things feel good, great! if not, tell them it's not for you and be on your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ummmm, they wanted to try as many people as possible....fair enough. Go along to the rehearsal?! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thats exactly what happened with my band. After an audition and first rehearsal they offered me the bass spot. Been all good since So go along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxrossell Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah, don't take it too personally that they still wanted to see some people after you. It may just be that they promised some other people auditions or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hmm. I'll go along. It's just that it's a line I've seen in corporate rejection letters..."thanks for your application, but the company has decided it wants to continue looking..." That sort of thing. It seemed a little odd to hear back from them. Thanks for the tips - I'll edit the title as this sudden attack of confusion is pretty much over. Besides, it's not as if anyone will die if I take a few minutes to respond to a text message! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Corporate rejection letters don't often invite you back for another interview though huh!? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
