The conductor has the advantage of not seeing the audience.

Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilarated and alive or quiet and calm

If we get it down to the other end and have something, we'll take advantage of it. If not, we're going to get us a good one.

What we need to know is the complete package. We need to know that our next conductor is not only a top-notch professional musician, but also someone who has a good sense for concert programming, for understanding and working with the strengths and limitations of this orchestra, and all of that.

I'm seeing the name Trey. Is anyone in the audience know a Trey? I'm seeing a phrase of a place that you want to go to.
