oh wait... you asked about college.
yes, indeed. there were competitions.
i won a soloist slot in some program in clowes hall (home of the indianapolis symphony, well it was then, beautiful hall).
then of course, there was the constant competition for chairs in orchestra & band & the baroque ensemble.
then there was just competition to even be admitted to the music schools &/or for music scholarships. i was turned down at IU, but offered scholarships to attend ISU & BU. i went to bulter univ.
