My college orchestra director, unhappy with the way a rehearsal had gone, warned the musicians who had music scholarships.
"If your playing isn't up to par, you can be returned to the factory!" he said.
How does a musician recall work? Is the musician pulled out of orchestra class and escorted to his or her advisor's office to look for other scholarship options? Or, is it like "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" when a spelling bee contestant spells a word incorrectly? Does the musician disappear after a cross offstage voice says, "Wah?!!" That's awfully draconian, so I hope that's not the procedure.
