A letter to George MacDonald.

This is a letter I wrote to the marching band director at our college as an attempt to persuade him/her to host annual twirling auditions (as opposed to allowing the twirlers to keep the positions until graduation). I hand-delivered the letter, asked if I could speak to him/her about it after he/she had read it, and later set up an appointment to meet. During our meeting he/she refused to change the policy but had very weak reasoning behind this decision (reasons which I answered very well in the letter), so a couple of weeks later, I sent a similar letter appealing to the director of the School of Music (also explaining the results of my meeting with the marching band director), who later went on to change the policy, although it did not take effect until the next year.
