I have an audition to be in the youth orchestra and I can't seem to find a good violin piece online. I am at intermediate level. Any suggestions are welcome. :)

These are some of the pieces my friends and I played to get into a youth orchestra ourselves.
as its an audition im assuming its going to be unaccompanied? in which case you could choose from: telemann fantasian (there is a book of 12 and any movement would be fine) bach partitas (again any movement) there is a book out by fritz kreisler which has a nice collection of pieces too of varying standards, and they're also quite showy which is good for auditioning :)
"21 Guns" by Greenday and "Raise me up" by Josh Groban. "Cotton Eyed Joe"... I don't know who it's by, but it would be super impressive if you learned it.
