Laura Woodfin (Rhatigan) Nomination Letter

April 6, 2019

To Whom it May Concern:

I would like to take this time to nominate Michelle Owens posthumously to the Cadets Hall of Fame. As an alumni of the Colorguard from 2003-2006, I personally got to work one on one with Michelle for all four of my years at Cadets. Michelle was often referred to as our “savior”. When we were struggling with learning something from one of the choreographers, she was right there learning it with us, making sure we understood every count. She always took time away from whatever it was that she was doing to not only teach us the counts but to also mentor us through life. Michelle was someone you could go to no matter what the issue and she would be right there listening. Michelle was always that bright smile you looked forward to seeing everyday on tour. She made those long rehearsal days seem just a bit shorter.

While Michelle may have never marched at the Cadets, she absolutely embodied everything that a Cadet represents. For this reason, I believe that Michelle Owens would be a great candidate for the 2019 Cadets Hall of Fame.

Sincerely yours,

Laura Woodfin (Rhatigan) CBCCG 2003-2006
