Why bring this up? Two college age player from different colleges did the same thing.
We have had two horn players drop from our orchestra this season without a word of "good bye." The first one had been our principal horn for the last two years. He just decided he didn't want to come back. Fair enough it's a volunteer group. After two weeks without seeing him, getting no response to phone calls or e-mails (though his Facebook Page was still active) we gave up on him. We were short one horn for the last two performances, the conductor arranged for a college student who had a solid reputation to fill in. It was a three hour drive, but she lived here and we figured she could cover both concerts on trips home. She showed up for the first concert, yesterday no show, no word no reply till late in the day. For a group such as ours, it doesn't matter why you don't want to continue. Just demonstrate professionalism and tell folks you aren't going to be there. No need to say why, just let the folks know not to expect you.
