I knew this was my big chance. On the day of the audition, there were three other young guys waiting with me in the studio.


There were four gray boxes lined up neatly in a row on a desk in front of us. We had no idea what they were for.


A bearded man wearing a yellow box on his head burst into the room with a hearty "Welcome! Welcome!"


"You guys look great! Long legs-- symmetrical heads-- you have all the right stuff to become tap stars!"


"OK, now. Would you all please put these boxes on your heads?"


The flyer read, "Tap star wanted!"
I had a decision to make. Would I put this box on my head and risk looking silly for a chance at stardom?

The poster said "Tap Star auditions!"


I thought I would have to be the luckiest boy in the world to win the audition and become world famous so easily, but I knew I had to try. I sat waiting nervously with three other young lads waiting for their chance to shine.


I noticed a great box placed on a desk in front of me and wondered what it was for.


A man carrying a yellow box entered the room and began speaking enthusiastically.


"Welcome! Welcome! Hey, you lads look great! You've got the right look and legs long enough to be the next tap stars!"


The poster said "Tap Star auditions!"
"Let's get started! Would you mind putting the boxes on? This box might look plain but it will make you a star!"

I felt a bit uncertain but put the box over my head.
