I was just kidding, Mr. Clean. I meant that I'm no "legend in (my) own mind" here to offer advice to the Marine Band. If I had any advice it would be this, for candidates: Don't attend any audition that you don't absolutely know you can win.
I knew I could win it, I wasn't in it mentally by the time I got to play. Last time I went down I was 2nd runner up.
If you show up thinking, "Well, maybe I'll get lucky and play great", you aren't ready! Then the committee wouldn't have to sit and listen to 100 people!
