Here is the transcript of a good speech that i wrote with inspiration from this thread. I feel somebody should use it because a teacher said i couldn't:
"Almost all of these school captain speeches sound the same. They start with a quote, put in a couple of jokes and try terribly hard to find the balance between inspiration and comedy... This will be no different"
So what makes up a good captain speech? Basically ive got to get up here be serious...but not too serious...funny...but not over the top and caring...but not too caring...really if i want to impress you, ive got to figure out how to get up here, keep a smile on both my face and yours, speak for three minutes and yet say nothing. i could do a rap like captains past but who am i kidding...i aint no 360. The fact is you may not care who the school captain is! But at the end of the day you want somebody who can look good in photos and say 3 sentences in a row that make... reasonable sense, don’t you?
But what does a school captain actually do? Stand up at assembly, repeatedly tell the school to remain standing after a dodgy rendition of the anthem, and then say in a fake voice “that concludes todays assembly, please wait for your year advisors!”
I believe a school captain should be more than just a fake voice over a loudspeaker, more than just a photo in a newsletter, I believe that a school captain should feel a sense of pride in representing there school...in representing you.
