TO CALL YOUR SO CALLED "AUDITION" AT TAMPA A FIASCO IS BEING KIND.I ARRIVED AT 3PM TO BE CONFRONTED WITH SEVERAL LINES OF 500-700 PEOPLE EACH.NOBODY COULD TELL ME ANYTHING.AFTER THREE HOURS IN LINE SOME CASINO PEOPLE BEGAN TO SAY WHEN ASKED"ITS ALL OVER LONG AGO.THEY ONLY TOOK 1000 PEOPLE"IT WOULD SEEM TO HAVE BEEN A COMMON COURTESY TO HAVE STATED IN ALL THE HYPE AND ADVERTISING,THAT ONLY THE FIRST THOUSAND PEOPLE WOULD BE CONSIDERED.WHEN I LEFT AT 6PM HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE STILL WAITING IN LINES FOR WHAT AMOUNTED TO A HOAX.VERY INCONSIDERATE OF ALL THE FOOLS,INCLUDING MYSELF THAT ATTENDED.THANKS FOR NOTHING.

i'm sorry to hear your audition experience was so bad.

But i just wanted to note, that this was not "my" audition -- I just let people know about it so they could attend if they chose to....

I agree that it was a fiasco. The 'marketing' staff and the 'security' staff gave out conflicting info. I was there well before 5pm, was told I needed to change lines at least 3 times, and was also told "the bands are all given out" and "we will give the bands out soon" alternately. It was incredibly poorly handled. If I were 'Jeopardy' I would be embarrased and find another venue for an audition next time.
