Research Paper On Drum Major
To begin my paper, I would like to thank you for considering me. It is not often a to-be sophomore puts as much effort into this as I have, and if it were not for the support of you, Joseph, Jay, Reese, and Stewie, I don’t think I would be anywhere near prepared enough to be a drum major. Today, however, I am ready, and now I just have to prove it to you. To explain where my inspiration for being drum major came from, I have to tell a story.

Thirdly, I have connections, particularly in the sense of getting volunteers to do any big projects that may arise. I happen to be a triplet, so let’s just say I know a large number of teenage boys who would be willing to come in early to set up for an event, move (or maybe even build) props, copy papers, etc. Any odd jobs that would take extra time to do, I and a few others of my choosing can do for you. Of course, there will always be
