What do band directors look for in a drum major?

-I'm writing an essay for an application for drum major, but I'm not sure whether I'd be good enough. I have leadership skills, since just about every group project I get I end up leading. I know how to work well with others for this reason. I also have a huge passion for music, and I plan to continue it in my life, and with these leadership skills and my passion for music, I feel like I can make a good drum major, but I don't know if it's enough. What else do they look for?



(PS- I'm not positive this is in the right section, but I hope I'll come across teachers).
