Ok I have had this problem ever since I started playing trumpet. I know my scales solid except for when I have an audition. I practice my trumpet and saxophone every single day and still I literally forget the sharps and flats in scales. It makes me angry because I want to make honor bands like all district band or all virginia band. For seating auditions I usually get around 5th to last chair. Have any other musicians had this same problem? How do you get rid of it? I have a seating audition for wind ensemble soon. I want to try to get first or second chair. I have 2 more auditions after the wind ensemble seating audition this year. all district band audition, and my audition to get into the Music school at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com /><st1:PlaceName w:st=<st1:City w:st="on">Marshall</st1:City></st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">University.</st1:PlaceName></ST1:p
