Concerned? Yes, actually.

I am a junior in high school, intending to major in music ed.
Tonight, I brought up the topic of school visits and auditions. I have always been adamant in wanting to visit and trial-lesson in the spring,and tonight, wish granted! I will be visiting two schools the weekend of May 9, and hopefully for trial lessons and the whole kit and kaboodle. I contacted the teacher at one, and when I navigated to page of the other one, suddenly got very nervous. Actually, that's too mild of a word---- try scared. I thought to myself, my audition repertoire sounds like crap! As soon as this teacher hears me trying to get through this music, they'll say this kid is terrible and could never be good enough! Couple that with my absolute lack of practice time in the week, I just don't feel like contacting them for a trial lesson.
I know that auditioning for music school is about looking for potential. I'm just worried when I try teachers out, they'll think I won't have any.
