His talent soon caught the attention of the jazz department, leading to a commissioned arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Just Squeeze Me" featuring the euphonium. This marked the beginning of Trevor's reputation for innovative arrangements, highlighted later by his groundbreaking rendition of "Gerudo Valley" at the Elmhurst College Jazz Festival, where his fusion of video game music with jazz earned acclaim from peers and professionals alike.

Transitioning to Elmhurst College (now Elmhurst University), Trevor thrived under the mentorship of jazz luminaries like Mark Colby and Frank Caruso.
