Choir


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.

  1. 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.

    Carry on.
