Sam was a good trumpet...

Sam was a good trumpet player in high school. Easily, he was the best trumpet player in
his small school of less than 300 students in grades 9 through 12. He also did well in area
honors bands and at solo and ensemble competitions.
What Sam really wanted to do was to play in the All-Ohio Boys Band (it has since gone co-ed), a band made up of 300 of the best players from across Ohio. Thirty-six trumpet players would be chosen. Sam thought his chances were slim, but he sent in an audition tape just to see what would happen. To his surprise and delight, Sam was chosen for both that year and the next year (his last year of eligibility) and was in the top five trumpet players his last year.
Many volunteered and wanted to go. Sam was chosen.
Unlike the All-Ohio Boys Band, God chose us before the creation of the world....
