DCI Auditions.

Well, after 3 years of highschool, 2 years of DCI divII and now my first year of college, I've dedided it's time to try out for a Div I corp.

SantaClara Vanguard auditions are Thanksgiving weekend, so I have about 2 1/2 months to perfect everything. The only problem I'm having is deciding what solo/etude I should choose. The requirments are not very specific at all. Basicaly a couple mins long, and something that one might play for a college jury.

I was thinking something fast and articulate because thats kind of drum corps style in a way. So right now I'm thinking something like the third mvt of the Hummel, or the Godicke Concert Etude. (Both of those I have down pretty solid with the exception of just a line or two in each). Are there any other etuded/solos out there that you think might be good for a DCI audition? (and remember, I only have a couple months to learn something new.)

Thanks!
