Personal Statement: Section Leader
Name: Terrence Patrick Drum major/Section leader
Grade: 11th grade (for 11-12 school year)
Future Position:
The reason I, Terrence Patrick, want to be a leader is because I feel that leading is what I was meant to do.

Another example is when the band was invited to perform for the faith world fundraiser (2010) and Mr. Green needed a student to be a “Fill-in” drum major for that day. I stayed after to volunteer and I was chosen and after that day I worked my butt off to help Corrine and assist her with the dancing for the performance which was a success for us and the band.
