Grovlez 2nd mvt. sounds like a really good choice. Watch your intonation on that scale up!

I remember the 1st mvt having huge fistfulls of chords in the Piano part - a real challenge for a pianist with small hands. The second mvt. is easier from a piano perspective.
BTW, do you know a pianist you can practice with? Worthwhile! Can he/she also come to the audition? That is nearly always acceptable. "You have the right to a pianist. If you cannot bring one, one will be appointed for you ... "  :)

Better to go to the audition with a few things well-prepared than with endless options that will only confuse. Spend the time preparing the Grovlez - dynamics, stacatto/legato and making the lyrical sections flawless.

Goodwinds was talking about taking sight-reading excerpts with you, and letting the conductor select from those. Vade Mecum or Rothwell's difficult passages, or the brown Orchestral Excerpts book. Just take the book with you and offer to play from that.
