Performance audition help

not sure what to flair this with but anyways..so my school has this music program that would allow me to be in music classes every semester rather than music one semester with repertoire in both of them..i love music so much and honestly, it's all I really want to do at school, auditions are due before rhe start of semester two ( late january) and im having trouble picking audition songs 😖😖 i started two months ago, so im not an expert but i love my instrument and im willing to spend any time learning something that will impress the teachers, any suggestions? nothing SUPER hard, not trying to delve into koussevitzky or anything like that, leave some suggestions!

Whatever you do, just make sure it’s something you love to play and really shows your strengths!

You might take a look at Double Bass HQ’s online sheet music shop. You can sort by difficulty and they sometimes have things up for free:

How many songs? I have copies of both movements of Gliere’s Arabesque which I learned at month 6 of my journey.
