Morpheus

I am going to play Morpheus for the May 21 concert.

Misconceptions

About Radical Honesty

*You can get around the truth by not talking about it. Always talking about the truth is talkative radical honesty.

*Radical honesty is not brutal honesty. We word our opinions to not hurt others' feelings.

*We will not tell you our address if you ask us for it. Asking people for their address is creepy and wrong.

Autism Misconceptions

#I am not Rain Man. Some people are, but not all of them.

#I am proud of who I am and don't want a cure. The true voice of autism is autistic people such as myself.

#Why would I pity myself? Instead, I pity the people who do not know me as the flutist in cadet band, the one who got 98% on her math final (I hate math.), and the girl who eats lunch with boys?

Band

+Band is not a geeky subject. It is just perceived as such by jealous non-band people.

+It is not hard. It, like sports, takes time, practice, and passion.

+Band people like me do not covet your athleticism, normality, or appearance. We are proud of who we are.

Cadet Band

Cadet band is AMAZING. We are considerably good at playing Court of the Noble Trumpeteers and Festivo Fantastico. However, this year, it is dominated by the annoying trumpeteers. I am not bashing trumpet players (some of you guys are talented). The ones in my band play out of turn and try to drown out the flutes, which are outnumbered 5 to 2.
