1) When the warm ups are harder than the actual song
Can we please just accept that chooey-ooey will never sound good and move on?
2) When someone understands the language you’re singing in and comments on your accent
You speak French? Great, try singing a French opera.
3) When breathing is suddenly the most difficult part of your day
Hate to break it to you, but I can’t actually make my diaphragm move at will.
4) Trying to make a non-choir person understand why battle hymns are the best
It’s literally a siege wall of sound, what’s not to love?
5) Intersectional rivalries
I’m not saying she’s such a soprano, but…
6) When “concert dress” basically means you’re in a trash bag
And 30 pins aren’t enough to keep your much-too-large skirt on your body.
7) When you’re in Madrigals and the freshmen are better than you ever were
Time to step it up, seniors.
8) Knowing your harmony to a pop song better than the melody
If you ever need backup vocals for “Under Pressure”, I’ve got you covered.
9) Finding yourself muttering a Medieval song about sex in the middle of math class
Come on, what’d you think all that “fa la la la la”-ing was about?
10) Having a teacher tell you that you can’t go carolling because your education is suddenly important
Newsflash, so is spreading holiday cheer!
