I want to try out for my high school Dance Team in March!! Any suggestions?

I danced for 8 years (mostly ballet, jazz, musical theater, Latin etc.) and then I took a year off due to illness. I was able to take occasional classes if I was able. I am well now, and I want to join the dance team at my high school! Unfortunately, I am a freshman currently and would be trying out for my sophomore year. Freshman who audition have to double of everything (double toe-touch, double kicks, etc.). Does anybody have any experience with dance/drill team? What kinds of things do you need to do at the audition? How much experience do you need, and do I have enough? What kinds of things should I be doing to prepare?

I live in Texas, and our dance team is one of the best in the state. The team will take as many new members as they want, based on scores by a panel of judges. This is my dream, and I love dance so much! I am currently enrolled in a Dance Team Prep class at my dance studio, but I don't have time for any other classes.

Also, I almost have my splits down. Do you think once I can do them on both sides, my kicks and toe touches will be higher?
