Neurodivergents during marching season--*3 months Bonus of you waking up from watching the UDB version in your dream (for non-marchers: UDB is Ultimate Drill Book, and it plays a MIDI version of the music while animation shows where to march)

Neurotypicals getting a song stuck in their heads: Oh, just listen to something else to dislodge it from your brain haha! Neurodivergents getting a song stuck in their heads: Strap in, bitch, this is what we're doing for the next three days.

We have reached the part of the marching season where I get woken up by segments of the music. On repeat. Over and over again. To make it worse this time, our ballad happens to be a song I skated to as a child, and had to play on piano as a teen. Hated it then, despise it now

The high school I coach at is on the smaller side (albeit 2.5-3x the size of the one I graduated from). I am constantly trying to tell my kids is that when they go on, being the best at their HS means nothing, since they're going to be with 100 other 'best at their HS' kids. Resilience is key.

During first-year orientation at UChicago I remember everyone saying "Oh my God it SO nice to be with SO MANY smart people" while having the "oh shit they're ALL as smart as me" look in their eyes (yes me too). We all got over it, but, yeah, recognizing you're no longer "the smart one" is a thing

Three Corsi-Rosenthal boxes later, my eyes have stopped burning. Bonus is I now also have three white noise machines This is what I started with, but I found a 16x20x1 filter worked even betterfor my use, and I had a 4 pack already on hand.
