Overall it's a nice program.  Good luck !   However it seems a bit restricted.  Any reason you didn't want to throw anything Baroque and/or 20th century into the mix ?  Personally I would like to see a bit more variety (but that's only my personnal opinion)...

That was the first thing I thought of.

I think that it's a good idea you started off with Appassionata.  I don't know what the audience is gonna be like, but if they're not usually classical listeners, people typically like something loud and fast.
