There are a few different events that lead to Hart being chosen to direct the choir for the holiday concert in Andrew Clements' The Last Holiday Concert.
The first event is that Hart, the usually popular kid who always gets what he wants, does not get chosen to be the drummer in the school band. Hart is extremely disappointed about that because he thinks the drums are the "coolest [band instrument]" of them all. Instead of being in band, he's forced to join the school chorus. The second event is that, in a burst of resentment, Hart shoots Mr. Meinert, the chorus director, in the neck with a rubber band, since keeping a "tangled wad of rubber bands" in his pocket and occasionally shooting them is one of his vices (Ch. 1). Little does Hart know that Mr. Meinert is losing his job this year because of budget cuts. Being shot by a rubber band is enough to make him lose all courage to keep teaching his class, so he gives all control over the class to the kids, telling them they can do whatever they want.
At first, the kids don't know what to do with themselves. But, soon, they decide they need to choose their own director. A few different kids nominate themselves, but the kids agree they should vote, which is the third event. When Mr. Meinert counts up the ballots, he sees that Hart has been elected to be the director, making Hart the unexpected director of the holiday concert.
