Title: Why Choir is Awesome
Post by: Accan on May 10, 2012, 11:13:11 PM
I've been in my high school choir program since January 2010, so it's been over two years I've been singing. At first i was in the men's choir, which isn't so great, but fall semester of 2010 I jumped right into our varsity group. I've had the pleasure of performing the following pieces professionally, as well as plenty of others:

Those last two i performed in choirs very similar to the ones you heard, except it's region 19 I was in, not region 22. (We sounded better :)

My high school choir sang this next year. Best song everrrr! Except it sounded better because we had an orchestra rather than whatever instruments these people had.

Bonus: an awesome piece I haven't sang, but it's awesome. And the director is awesome.

My hatred for choir probably comes from my Elementary School forcing all kids into it for all 6 years (Kindergarten stupids). It was probably the day every year where the teacher made you sing by yourself in front of the whole class, me being a shy kid, i HATED it. I like to listen to the choir sing (somewhat) but you will not force me into choir.

I never did Choir ever in school. I did a musical or two but only sang backstage and shit; never thinking I had a voice at all.

Then I did a church choir when I randomly joined a youth group (they didn't know I was atheist) and they all were like OHMYGOD A BOY WANTS TO SING WITH US? OHMYGOD AND HIS VOICE IS SOOO AWESOME. So they had me sing lot's of bass and tenor; but I could sing some soprano and most all Alto too. So the few months I sang with them, after every service all these old people who haven't seen me before were like YOUR VOICE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU FOR SINGING TODAY; and I was like LOL MY VOICE IS AWESOME.

Then I took over the world.

Kinda crazy when you think about it.

Also pretty cool stuff Accan, I find it nuts that people can sing like that together and make it come out real good.

Well, at my sisters Trophy ceremony for her church soccer bullshit, some girl I knew from school asked me to join the youth group and go with them to Kings Dominion in a month, so I was like HELL YEAH.

Joined the youth group; 8-12 people, and they rarely even talked about anything religious; and when we did I just played along and managed to offer the insight the youth minister was looking for when it came to bible lessons. :l So they thought I was this amazing insightful christian-like kid when really I'm a pothead who believes God may be real but not in the sense anyone else believes via historic texts. Etc. Then they were like JOIN CHOIR; so I did and yeaaap. Was a fun time honestly, I loved those kids, though the middle school boys were the most annoying twats on the planet.

Basically I did it for social reasons cause I was bored and they were aiiiight. I don't hate people for their beliefs opposing mine and if anything it was a learning experience; at first it was to humor their ideals/free amusement park but in the end it probably helped me become the more understanding person I am today.. as opposed to the raging atheist I was a while back. I wouldn't consider myself an atheist anymore, I'd rather be my own religion given everyone has a different belief regardless of what they classify their religion to be..

Etc; enter my thoughts on religion. No need to turn the thread into that; Choir =/= Religion I was just stating how weird my experience was in realizing I could sing, old bitches at churches are the best critics.
