I don't see how they would remember you from one audition to another unless something happens way out of the ordinary. The people behind the screen are just that, people, like you and I. You never know what they will hear in your playing or what they are looking for.
I forgot, they do that behind the screen thing.
I DO know what they are looking for.
They are looking for artistic performance at the highest level. They are looking for players who know what they are doing, and can do it under the most intense scrutiny imaginable. Your playing is examined with a microscope. If you think you can cut it, go. If not, don't waste everyone's time. Audition only when you feel you can win, not just to say you were there!
That's the way I think about auditions.
