I'll have to sing a song and I want one that I could preferably move around with and be as creative as possible, as well as a song that is good to "show off" my talent, without having to really move or anything. And of course, I also want a song that is kind of in the middle-- a "stand still" type thing that requires a bit of expression at the same time. Any ideas? Thanks, all!

Well, I don't normally suggest Disney songs but Part of Your World could be good for this.
You could also try:
The Light in the Piazza - The Light in the Piazza
The Girl I Mean to Be - Secret Garden
Why Am I Me - Shenandoah
Little Lamb - Gypsy
Much More - The Fantasticks
Once You Lose Your Heart - Me and My Girl
Ribbons Down My Back - Hello Dolly
For those songs I was thinking towards Somewhere Over The Rainbow, but these have more character or more vocal power:
Be Kind To Your Parents - Fanny
Astonishing - Little Women
Don't Rain on my Parade - Funny Girl
Waiting For Life - Once On This Island
It Might As Well Be Spring - State Fair

Here are some musical theatre pieces that just seem like good "Dorthy songs" in general.

- Love, Look Away (Flower Drum Song)
- Far From the Home I Love (Fiddler on the Roof)
- Goodbye My Love (Ragtime)
- I Don't Know How to Love Him (JC Superstar)
- Waiting for Life (Once on This Island)
- A Lovely Night (Cinderella)
Break a leg! I hope you get the part!

Well "Tomorrow" For Annie is always really good. It's popular and memorable and it wroks for a range of voices

Beauty and The Beast/Tale as Old as Time-Beauty and the Beast
Castle On a Cloud-Les Misrables
Little Girls-Annie
Anything Goes-Anything Goes

Of course, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", for the pensive one. And for the moving one, "The Jitterbug" or "The House Began to Twitch".
