Feature Article in the Making

For my feature article topic, I will be writing about the West Virginia University marching band.I will be interviewing Margaret Bloom, a member of the marching band. An ideal source of publication for said article would be the Daily Athenaeum to reach students all across campus. Perhaps an even better way to reach students would be the WVU main website, wvu.edu. Not only would it be easy to access to students, but also to a wider range of readers who want to catch up on the latest news, check out what the school is like, etc. 

An article about the university’s marching band would most likely be best written from a third person point of view. I think that the article would be of interest to a lot of people attending West Virginia University, especially the big football game goers. After all, the marching band does their job to rile up the crowd quite well. I think it would be very interesting to see a football game from a marching band member’s perspective, because they’re a little more relatable than the big football players deemed as campus celebrities. Besides, who isn’t completely baffled by the perfected choreography of grouping into the state shape of West Virginia?
