Dizforprez,
I looked at the "audition repertoire for a B.M. at MTSU in Mufreesboro, TN" , so here goes:

Abran: Fantasie Brilliante
Balay: Petite Piece Concertante
Barat: Andante and Scherzo
Clarke: any cornet solo (BRIDE OF THE WAVES, Mwahaha!!)
Corelli: any sonata
Goedicke: Concert Etude
Handel: Aria Con Variazioni
Haydn: Concerto, 1 movement
Kennan: Sonata, 1 movement
Ropartz Andante and Allegro

Etudes may be chosen from Charlier, Arban, and/or Small studies. If performing an etude, please also play one solo work.

Is this about the level expected in Universities around everyone's area? I played Petite Piece Concertante for my audition at TN Tech...

What's strange is that I've spoken with (who's going to be) my trumpet professor and mentioned the Arutunian Concerto (A Master's level piece according to this list), and he said it was a Bachelor's piece. Maybe thats why I was looking for what is expected of trumpet players nationwide: I don't want to stay in my state as long as I need to (We have a "Roadkill is yours if you hit it" law, for chrissakes! ). I was also hoping to steer myself towards the upper-echelon and higher-tier of trumpeters, and not "doom myself to mediocrity (Already accumulating a list of band-director-esque things to say :) ).
