Good luck on your audition! It's really hard to get into. I knew a kid who didn't make it on English Horn, and he got into Curtis.
You might want to focus on one instrument to try out on. Another good possibility (if you're 16-19) is NYO-USA which is kind of like a summer festival youth orchestra in New York.

Thanks!
Does anyone like "Home" by Phillip Phillips? I don't like pop music, but that song is amazing.

Anyone know any good classical? Bach and Dvorak are my favorites.

Hummel is higher. And way way more insane and there's a section that's virtually impossible.
Really insane piece on cello: Saint Saens concerto #2. IT'S ALL THIRDS.
