[Piece of crap]

Being in a choir is fun, I think, even though some people like all the glory and solos and shit.

I noticed that tenors are all proud of being tenors, even though they are not true tenors in a choir and are no better at singing then the baritones and basses.

I also noticed that baritones get jealous of a true bass when they hear his lows. Sometimes, they even pretend to shoot him.

I noticed no one is jealous of altos.

I noticed sopranos are lazy ass drama queens sometimes.

I noticed there are alot of musical theatre people who sing all musical theatre like too, and they all like getting solos and stuff.

Heh, it's true sops are the biggest drama queens on the planet.

Oh, choir. I adore choir, it's improved my singing more than I can possibly say, plus it's just a ton of fun! Mwah!

I'm one of the highest Sopranos in my school choir. It's fun. I'm also in my school's Chamber Choir, which is uber-cool, but not as fun as choir since I'm the only Freshman.

[Mel AKA Maureen]

I have a friend who says he a bari, and he can sing that very well. But he can also sing excellent bass notes, and sing sop better than me. Except he's awlays angry at his voice. But he's not in chours cause he doesn't like that kind of sining.

I think he's so awesome...and crazy.

[Piece of crap]

Like, no altos in a high school choir are real "dark altos" anyway. Somewhere there are, but like, it's really one in a thousand. There might be a true bass, but in everywhere except Russia that is really quite rare.

So they've never heard low notes to their full coolness.

And those kinds of low voices are cool.

They've never heard the cool lows, so they think all that's cool are highs.

So you can't really blame them for being dumbwads

[_simplywicked]

i'm never really jealous of altos, mostly impressed by their ablitlies. I was an alto last year in chorus, and it was so hard for me to switch, but it definatly gave me respect for them.

[snowie86]

dark altos? what's that?

[LaurelDP]

I don't do choir.

I take Drama classes at school.


The girls who do the musical, but are choir folk, really suck at acting.

[RainyCrystal]

I can't do choirs anymore. My voice is getting too big for chorus singing.

[B3TA07]

Very low altos.

I love being in choirs, especially Broadway choirs with really great arrangements. I get off on meaty chords.

I'm a mezzo too, but I usually sing either soprano 2 or alto. I tend to get bored with alto parts, even though I love harmonies, but sometimes you just wanna sing the melody! It's fun either way, though. I love choirs. A capella choirs are fun too.

See, at my school, the sopranos suck. Basically. The altos however, are almost always perfect, and thus, always get complements from both the teacher and our student conductor, who is a tenor. It's the same for madrigals, but to a smaller degree. But I think it's because basically, more altos read music, have louder and better quality voices, and are friendlier people. That's why I'm glad to be an alto in choir, even though I could be singing second soprano.

[LisaKitty]

I'd say at least 95% of the girls in any high school choir are sopranos. The ones who can read music are put in the Alto (or Soprano II) section. The ones who can only sing the melody or who throw big diva fits about being a soprano, end up in the Soprano I section.

[dramaqueen220222]

At my school, altos are an endangered species.

[GlamorousGriz]

Those are so true.

I'm in swing choir (but we don't dance). We're more of a chamber choir. I'm a mezzo-y soprano, but I can sing as high as the firsts. However, for choir purposes, I'm an alto. I can read music, harmonize, and I have a wide range. So, when the altos are supposed to be singing with the sopranos, I'm the only one on the top notes. My choir has a few low altos. Not very many people in any section can read music. Two altos, maybe a couple sopranos, one bass, and a couple tenors. Are you're choirs audition only, too?

[GlamorousGriz]

My chorale is audition only, yeah...

[purplepolkadot]

At my school, we have like 6 or 7 choirs. I'm not sure. Two jazz choirs (I did one of them last year... wasn't that exciting). And the rest choral choirs. I'm in symphonic right now. It's really fun. And I like it.

[Forest Fairy]

my school has one choir, it's not a class because not enough people will take it. The "conductor" (the school music teacher) doesnt conduct and we never get any cues. And all boys (3 of them) are forced to sing tenor, even though 2 are bases.
Everyone in the choir is caucasian, but we sing music that is really ment to be sung by black people that are much cooler then us (i hope that doesn't sound racist, but we sang Outkast's "Hey Ya" and it didn't work so well)
My school does have a pretty cool R&B band though. And i like non school type choirs.

[Desperado]

I'm way too good to blend and harmonize.

[wicked_diva]

We have two choirs: The Concert Choir (for everyone) and Madrigals (audition-only). Until this year, we have also always had a Treble Cleff Choir (mostly for freshman girls) but our choir director semi-retired last year (he now only does Madrigals) and our current choir director has to have time to run back and forth between our school, and another school in the distric, where he teaches band, and possibly choir.

The Concert Choir, though smaller this year than usual, still prbably has a good 50-60 people in it. I think there are 27 in madrigals, including myself.

[Stargazer]

Oh choir, I have a choir concert to go see tomorrow night thanks for reminding me.

Anyway, I've always loved being in choir, I find it a lot of fun. In High School it was always fun but there was drama... most of it coming from the sopranos who thought they were bigger than everybody.. and a few altos... but they needed to be kicked in the butt anyway...

In my choir in high school a lot of the time the sopranos were good, tenors were good and the altos were okay and the basses always needed more. I always sang alto. My senior year my teacher wanted to switch me to soprano (mind you, ever year since 5th grade we had a different choir teacher) but I told her I needed to stay an alto and she let me because she said they needed me in the section since it was basically all freshman and sophomores, no juniors and I was the only senior. No one in choir could really sight read... the section with the most sight readers was actually the tenors. The sopranos my senior year always sounded so young and breathy it drove me nuts... This year, in college, I got switched to a soprano... and I don't like it but what can you do? Oh, I love choir ^_^!!!

[Nudelkopf]

I've not been in a choir since third grade. I think something's wrong with me

[One Song Glory]

I've been in choir on and off... but for the longest time, I never joined choir in high school. Finally, in senior year, I decided to join and I had a blast. It was great - we did some really nice songs and the first selection of the year was a medley of Les Mis music. Also, most of the theatre kids were in choir so during West Side Story no one was thought odd if walking into class singing 'A Boy Like That'.

It also helped me as a performer. My choir teacher was one of the best teachers ever, and she worked hard with us to make sure we gave our best performance. She could have her moments of being mean, but most of the time she was really nice and was helpful ... I think she even was the one who suggested me for Doc ('Mrs B') in West Side Story!

[dramaqueen220222]

Right now I'm in a high school choir. Everyone can be in it, it counts as a class. Sadly, I didn't get into Select Chorus, which is only 20 or 30 people. I really wish I could've been in it. They get good songs, and they sound better. I think I deserved to be in it. I'm more dedicated to chorus then half the people in select. But whatever, I'm not going to say any more about it because I know I'd stop ranting like a diva about it. All I know is the choir director says that I can be in it next year. So I'm satisfied

[candymancan]

My choir president found some thing like this on the internet, it is really fun. it describes each parts personality.For the basses it says that they get tired of singing bass. It is to easy. sometimes we hold the same note for a long time we just want a little challenge. It is so true though. I can't remember what it said about all the others.

[Da_Dark_Dude]

haha its so true wat u said about the tenors not being tenors, i sing tenor in choir (but really im a high baritone) and i dnt make that a secret, i say im not a tenor, and sing the 2nd tenor line, but there is this one guy, bless him who screams the first tenor line and thinks hes the shizzz

[Patrick]

yeh, my school has several choirs.....im in 3, concert, madrigal/holiday, and men's

it kind of sucks though b/c whenever bass/bari split all baris except me + another sing bass any way so then its two baris against 23 bass 2's.

its hard to cut thru especially w/all the other parts

[lovesinging]

Ha. We altos have to stick together.

I do choir at school for many reasons that I would rather not get into here.

However I do sing with my church's teen worship team...a group of about 7 that sing with the music pastor on the stage at the church. I'm a baritone on there...I really have to hold myself back though sometimes...I just go down the octave to quiet myself. I sing baritone/bass with them.
