Auditions...
I just had auditions for HBOA (Honor Band of America). I've worked on the piece for months, but i'm not sure it was my best. Actually, I know it wasn't my best. And I'm going up against people from all grades, all over America. And I just finished my freshman year of HS. Do I stand a chance?  Or should I just go ahead and expect the worst?

Don't Worry
Alright so you may not have done too well in your audition recently, but you said you had just finished your Freshman year of HS. So come on you've got at least 2 years left (I don't know if they accept recently graduated Srs). So just make sure that you keep plugging away. Don't make yourself sick over one supposedly bad audition, whenever I think I perform horribly there are always people who think otherwise so, normally I don't worry about those things. I hope that your HS is one that cultivates the arts, so that your talents may grow, as you get older.

Yeah, hopefully I did well. *I'm a perfectionist* But my school has an incredible band program and incredible teachers, so it should be all good.

Auditions
I know exactly how you feel. I'll tell you about my audition. I was 16, playing trumpet for only half a year and decided to audition for a university orchestra  I got to the concert hall 2 hours early to warm up. Those were the 2 longest hours in my life and then things got worse..... THE CONDUCTER AND PRINCIPLE TRUMPET CAME TO AUDITION ME. They took me into a diffrent room and told me to get ready. One of my legs could not stop shaking and I had sweat pouring down both arms. There is no description on how I played, I don't remember what exactly happened during those five minutes but I must have done pretty well because I sorta impressed the conducter and lived happily ever after  The main thing to do is just to keep cool
Good Luck,

lol, that reminds me of when I auditioned for Charlotte Youth Wind Ensemble. (And All-State auditions, but those are yearly, so it's no big deal). But yeah, the lady who auditioned me came out and told my parents that I'm an extremely talented player. *sighs* good memories.
