My advice to you, as a serving Sgt Bugler ...

learn to play dots, learn to listen to advice when it is offered, learn to make coffee (WELL!!), sounds like you need to be running at least 2 miles per day (always train for more than you need), aim to run the 1.5 miles in around 11 minutes (thats what you'll be expected to do once in, if you pass audition), do NOT take a pit stop on the audition run, learn to listen to advice when it is offered, learn that banter is exactly that ... banter, learn to listen to advice when it is offered and remember that first impressions count for a hell of a lot (whether that be on a forum such as this or in person)

Here endeth the gospel according to me!
