Looking for a song for a scholarship..

I'm looking for a song for a 10,000$ scholarship in Florida for Juniors and Seniors in Highschool.  The rules are: 3 to 8 minutes, as many, CLASSICAL pieces as you want within the time frame.  If the song has a repeat bar, you don't HAVE to play the repeated part. So far, I'm going to be playing Fantasie-Impromptu op 66 by Chopin which is around 5 minutes or so.  I'm looking for another song that'd be less than 3 minutes so I'd stick within the 8 minutes, but would absolutely WOW the audience.  Anybody know of some short, wowing song?  Thanks for the replies

1) What else do you have in your repetoire besides the FI?  It's a bit overplayed and I'm guessing your chances aren't as good with that. 

2)  How long do you ahve to learn something else? 

3)  Do you have a private teacher?

Well, I don't currently have anything better than Fantasie, not something that would wow everybody anyway..

I only have a month left lol since i just got an invite finally from them to go to it

no i don't have a private teacher, i'll be getting paid lessons from the school for 4 days in January

Try Brahms Ballade No. 1. Its around 3 minutes i think and if you can create the deep disturbing atmosphere that is in it you might well impress the audience. I think this piece is about one of Shakespeare's insane royalities. So freaking maestoso  .
