 I've never had to audition for anything before, but to play in the Wind Ensemble next year, I have to. It's a college level music ensemble open to all students, including non-music majors (like myself). The thing is I'm not a bad clarinetist, but not excellent. I was first chair through junior high, second chair in a band through my junior year and fourth chair in the class A/B band in 12th grade.

I'm kind of a perfectionist and I'm terrified I wouldn't get in, but I LOVE to play and really don't want to stop. I've heard some other college musicians and I don't even compare. How do I calm myself down? I really don't want to quit playing. ...

Is there a resource to go to to see how to write a successfull proposal? I will have no trouble getting music or people to play it. I am a professional musician, have played extensively and am concertmaster of an orchestra so I know a lot of musicians. ...
