Get yourself a copy of the Rubank "Concert and Contest Collection." All good pieces edited by Voxman, available with piano accompaniment and I think they do make recordings now. Of those pieces, I recommend the Mozart Menuet and "Scene and Air" especially.

What level is this for? Middle school? High School? Also, what are the audition requirements? It'd help a lot for making reccomendations.

Anyway, I did the Cavallini "Adagio and Tarentella" for college auditions, and I loved it. It's fairly "upbeat", and even the lyrical sections keep your fingers moving. It gives you a good chance to play around with tempo changes and drastic dynamic contrast. Like I said though, I don't really know what playing level this audition is for, so it might be above your ability if you're a younger player, but who knows. Just my two cents.
