Sound! Euphonium, S.3, Ep.12 - The Last Soloist (Patreon)

I really enjoyed this episode mainly because of 2 things:

The blind audition and...

The fact that everyone hears something different when listening to an audition with two very good musicians.

I would love to hear your reasons on who you think should win the audition. I am glad that the audition was based on a vote. Most auditions have an uneven number of judges to make sure that there isn't a tie. In this case the students were choosing who would win and Reina was the final vote. She chose what she thought sounded best and not what she thought she wanted.

This is how auditions go. If I was the only one judging that audition, I would've chosen the performance that had more heart. Would that have sunk the whole band? Probably not...If I were on a panel, Mayu would have probably still won and that's because I would've been outnumbered. This is why we have auditions.

Who would you have chosen off of your first listen? Do you remember who you thought was best the first time you watched the show?
