I would have to agree with the happy part. My daughters best friend in high
school was also the drum major for the band. Teresa was slightly over 6
feet tall and stood tall in her uniform. She was a hit with all the
parents. Nothing worse than a tall woman who slumps to look petite. Be what
you are, tall or short, but be happy with it.
