I was one of the participants that advanced in the band auditions. I personally have more experience auditioning with band excerpts. That audition taught me that I need to start playing orchestral excerpts in front of more people more often if I hope to ever win an audition for an orchestra. Another point to make is that we are in the south. In my meager experience, there have been little or no chances to play with a reputable orchestra until I went to college. I find it more natural to play band excerpts even though I studied with an orchestral tuba player in high school. Just my two cents. Hope this helps.
