This year I will be forwarding their request to the American Astronomical Society in an effort to convince the organization to allow me to present an oral paper for the January Meeting.[Snip!]
Here's another analogy: what you're trying to do is present a musical by touring dinner theaters in the Midwest, and hoping that positive reviews from the audience will land your show a run at a Broadway theater. That isn't how it is done. The standard procedure here is for the show to be given a dry run in New Haven or Philadelphia, and then after some numbers dropped and new numbers added and all the kinks worked out, then and only then does the show open on Broadway. Broadway first, then the touring companies and dinner theater productions.

You need to take your "show" before graduate students and professors, not high-school students however gifted.
