Yes, you could win an audition based only on your playing, thats what auditions are about.

The second, third and fourth players in a section have a lot to do with how the principal player sounds. The principal trumpet player will be able to tell how you play, if you make his life easy, everything will be fine. If you make it difficult, you won't last long.
Same goes with big band sections.
