I'm not a producer, but I'm an audio engineer and I work with some every now and again. So here's my two cents:
1) Just chill. Try not to look too nervous. Remember that you're both people who love music. Music. Music. Music. It's all about the music.
2) When asked about your music, talk about it like you f**king own it. I can't tell you how often I will ask a band about their music and I hear things like "uhhhh... Uhm... Well, it's kinda like a mix between (band1) and (band2)." And that sounds horribly unprofessional, and makes it seem like you really don't care.
Take a moment with the other band members to figure out how you would seriously describe your music.
3) Remember that producers are professionals (usually). You should talk to them as such. Avoid using excessive swearing in your normal speech, basic things like that. The more you seem like a snot-nosed brat with a guitar, the lower your chances are.
Actually, if you're under 18 and you can't keep your act together, your chances are about 0%. A friend's band near me talked to a producer I know, and got rejected for just that reason. The contract isn't worth it if the kids aren't serious enough to be successful.
Anyhow, I wish you luck!
