Lots of Italian in music...
Above the measures is always a lot of fun stuff. Tempo, dynamics, expression. Below is usually the changes in tempo. Since it's a tryout, you won't have a conductor, so you'll have to be alert for all of the terms as they fly by. The terms you've mentioned, as well as the pieces (not easy) leave a lot up to the musician to express and interpret them. Good luck!
molto expressivo = with much expression (think of molto as mucho!)
meno mosso = with less motion; and/or less rapidly or slower
con moto = with motion; with movement; with life
allegro con brio = faster with spirit, lively (allegro means fast or
quicker)
andante = a moderate tempo, about a walking speed; also means slower
poco rit. = a little slower. 'rit' is short for "ritard" meaning slow. Usually shows up at the end of a phrase or song.
rall. = short for rallantando... a gradual slowing of the music. The molto with it is going to be even slower.
dim. = diminuendo or diminish. Gradually becoming softer almost fading out. poco a poco rall e dim. then becomes "little by little get slower and softer".
cresc. = crescendo.. get prgressivley louder. cresc. poco a poco is get louder... little by little.
Wow! That was like a test! The flute is a beautiful and expressive instrument. The notations and dynamics in your music actually helps you in putting a little more of "yourself" into the music.
I'm a pianist, vocal major, choral director, and percussionist, so music terminology is VERY important so I can make music, not just noise. But every now and then I need a little help too! Visit http://www.wikipedia.org or http://library.thinkquest.org and search for "music terminology" or "music terms". Also, go to Google, type in the term you're having trouble with, then keep your "ctrl" key pressed while you press the letter "D"...
You're going to do great.. express yourself and have fun!

Don't think that way- you'll do fine! If I can make a suggestion, buy a music/music term dictionary, and in the future when you get a new piece of music, go through and mark down the meanings to all the words you don't know. That way, as you're learning the notes and the getting the "ground work" done, you'll be getting familiar w/ the dynamics, tempo, etc. markings. I do this all the time (You should see some of the music I'm working on now- pencil marks everywhere!). This should help you a lot. Good luck tommorow!!

Above the measure:
Molto espressivo - expressive
Meno mosso -without something, or less?
Con moto- with something? with might?
Allegro con brio - fast
Andante- slow
Under the measure:
poco rit. - a little retard ( as in slow down)
molto rall. -dunno
rall.-dunno
poco a poco rall. e dim. -little by little something, and get softer
dim. - diminuendo ( get softer)
cresc - crescendo (get louder)
poco a poco- little by little
edit:

the stuff above the measure doesnt mean anything to you. its for the conductor. everything with poco means to use lots of feeling when playing it. (exciting, etc.) poco a poca dim means slow down and quiet down while maintaining energy. dim means play softer, and rall means to have full-bodied notes (not stacatto) hope that helps.

poco rit means slow down the notes
and i think andante is fast
