There will be some sight singing involved. I'll have to read the email again
to see  what there will be.

Hey Sarah,
You need to find an accompanist for your piece asap. do you know anyone in
your school whose a piano major? Or who knows how to play the piano from
just your score? There is absolutely no need to tell them you are blind,
unless they made it clear there will be some sight singing involved. If they
did,  then they will need to provide that in braille for you. That is the
only reason why you would mention your blindness. Otherwise, just get an
accompanish, work on your stage presence, facial expressions and just your
music, which obviously you know how to do. And the very best of luck! Please
let us know what happens!  that is a great honor to even be invited to
audition.
Yours,
Mary
