Hmmm, your age makes finding something jazzy hard. So what if we toss age out the window and go with jazzy? Since it's a school audition I think it's perfectly ok to do that.

One Hundred Easy Ways - Wonderful Town
Basically anything Cole Porter will probably work, like:
DeLovely, I Get A Kick Out Of You, Anything Goes, You're The Top - All from Anything Goes
Maybe something from Chicago - Roxie or All That Jazz

Also, 1-2 days is not much time to prepare. You should start building a repertoire of songs that you practice regularly so that you can just pull one out when you need to and you'll always be ready.

good luck,

"Not for the life of me" from thoroughly modern Millie

answer my ? too!

this song is used alot but i think it's a good song that you can act along with: "Popular" from Wicked

If I were a Bell from Guys and Dolls can be killer if you do it right, same with My New Philosiphy from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.
