Will my tongue sabotage my audition?

Hey all,

I have 3 auditions coming up, 2 opera orchestras, and one symphony. I feel very confident about them, except for the tonguing passages. Both opera lists have Bartered Bride, and the symphony has the first page of Don Juan and Mendelssohn 3, II. The Mendelssohn is getting there, and I can fake it a notch lower than marked, but the others are still really hairy. I've been working on my multiple tongue like crazy, but it won't be up to snuff in time, especially on the Smetana. Should I just bite the bullet and practice it slur 2 tongue 6 or something like that?

I've been doing the Robert Spring warm-up, which has helped a lot, but only so much can be done in a limited amount of time. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

~Jeremy
