(32 Etudes For Clarinet by Cyrille Rose)
Which is your favorite/the best piece to sort of "show off" with.
For a high school student, no need to break out the concertos or anything like that!
Familiar with most of the book, need to pick one for an audition coming up in a couple of months.

I personally love #11, actually played it for a concert last year! Very musical and some technical elements. #1 is nice too.

Number 26 is great to show off with because it sounds difficult but actually is just technical elemetns going up a scale. Especially going fast, it sounds cool.

Pick the one you can play the best of those you like and feel you can express yourself the best as well as play clean at good tempo. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com

Ed's right. The whole point of an audition is to demonstrate your strengths as a player to someone else. So to pick audition material for an audition, you really need to have some idea of where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
Since most auditions have some kind of competitive component to them, you should also ask yourself what positive aspect(s) of your playing make you stand out among your peers. What can you do better than everybody else?
Keeping that in mind, you need to select pieces that highlight the best aspects of your playing and that minimize the impact of any particular weaknesses you have. It can really help to have a teacher or director assist you in figuring this out.
The other thing you should try to do is to play pieces you feel you understand well and have a deep appreciation for on an artistic level. Of course, you have to be able to play it well technically, but that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is that you should try to play pieces that you enjoy, find personally meaningful, and have a good intuitive feel for how they work musically (not how to play the notes, per se, but rather, how the music is constructed and what the music is saying to the listener). The more you "dig" what you play, the better you'll play it.
