I sang in church yesterday.
It was a small solo with the Young Women.
I got a cookie for showing up to practice.
Anyway, afterwards I had an onslaught of people ask me why I was not in the ward choir.
I smiled politely and just shrugged.
I did not tell them.
I can not stand ward choirs.
The drama
The ego's
The sitting for an hour while the tenors learn their part
The evil looks the altos give sopranos
I just can not handle it.
I also can not handle pressure.
Yesterday....I went to choir practice.
I die.
As a first tenor, I would take umbrage...but then I force myself to admit that I drag my feet on purpose when I sing in an ensemble of any sort, be it at church or the theater.
ReplyDeleteCarry on.
ah the tenors. they have such a bad rap.
ReplyDeleteway to go! way to be in the ward choir. so, are you an alto or a soprano?
I'm so glad to hear the news! Your ward will be blessed to hear your beautiful voice each Sunday! You have to have a little pity on those of us who take awhile to learn our parts!! :-) Fa la la la love you!
ReplyDeletewow, i can't believe you caved! my ward choir director has purposely never asked me to be in the ward choir. good riddance.
ReplyDeletemaybe you should suggest singing a song from the hillary weeks song book.
ReplyDeleteCan't stand it? or can't stand to be shown up by women twice your age..(90)? hahaha lolx10000000
