Well, since i'm going through the exact same thing on the 29th, i'll tell you what i'm doing. I'M NOT WORRYING ABOUT IT!!! But since you didn't want to hear that, then how about this. You have two weeks. Say you do a couple hours a day of intense practice. That's better than like pulling 5 hours a day. Just concentrate and get it done. Set goals for every day on what you want to achieve. But the more you worry about it, the worse you're going to do. Remember, the goal is the audition, that's all. You need to get physically prepared (as in don't hurt your hands, okay???) and mentally prepared (as in getting ready for how you'll feel at the actual audition.) For example, i know i get nervous and i feel like i'm about to forget the music. That means i have to prepare every single note of that music, have it memorized, perfect it, then be able to get up each morning, play it through and have it perfect. That's like almost impossible but for me personally to feel comfortable at auditions like that, i need that reassurance. So find what works for you in practicing and you can make this. Remember our deal??? You make it then i will!!! Hope i helped ya!!!
