I don’t know trumpet specifically but a friend of the family auditioned in classical percussion, went to George Mason and transitioned to Jazz second semester. It was not hard there. But he went for a fabulous percussion teacher. Teacher is very important but so are the ensembles. How challenging would each be for him. He wants to be in ensembles but not always the top of the heap. Needs performance but also challenge. I think some lessons or additional visits may be in order, and cost is always a factor. We had to decline Peabody because of money.
