"if you get second oboe, go for it!"
I personally LIKE playing 2nd oboe...

I'm with Howard: if it is up to you to pick a piece, then pick a beautiful one which you've mastered and can express yourself through. Your ability to play IN TUNE and with FLUIDITY and some expression will out-weigh your mastering fast passages or complicated bits.

I just did a community symphony audition, and they allowed me to pick the pieces too. But I brought a few 'selections' along, and was pleased when the conductor chose from among them rather than throwing something else my way. I had to do mine with no piano though, and I would actually prefer having accompaniment.

Good luck!
