Default High School Choirs
I'm in an auditioned choir myself and I love it to death. This is my second year, and I plan on staying in it until I graduate.

Is/was anyone else in a High School choir? What do you like about it? What do you dislike about it?

I'm in Choir, tenor. We're going to go sing at Disney World this year. It's so exciting.
I love it... because there are some really [s]sexy[/s] cool people in my class.

I'm in the auditioned choir in my school as well as Jazz.
It's been fun, and I've made some of my closest friends in that choir.

I just wish the teacher was more prepared and organized. She's fairly young (in her early thirties, I think) and she's an opera major. She doesn't play much piano, and a lot of the time she doesn't look at the music to figure out the more complicated parts beforehand.

I actually don't enjoy choral music that much, unless it's Eric Whitacre or something like his work. I'm starting to lose the will to be in choir partially because of that.

Yeah. The music is kinda bland.
My director is secretly a Neo-Nazi. =/
Bleh. And testing sucks.

Part testing isn't difficult for me, and I thank god for that.
I don't know if it's my musical experience or if the choir's too easy, but a lot of the time I don't do any work. That might be why I'm getting tired of choir. :X

My choir is terrible.

it's either
a) competition, ex. OMGSOPRANOS ARE SOOOO MUCH MORE AMAZING THAN THOSE STUPID ALTOS LOLOL
or
b) "I'm such a good singer, you know, just like Hillary Duff, you can tell, because I sing classical choral music like a manufactured popstar"

It's pitiful, and yes, I am pretty bitter about it. It's been like that since 6th grade, and it's still the same people, except now they've faked vibrato enough that they're actually getting something and being moved up to higher choirs while I'm not.

Although, it might have been our director's fault anyways.
He can't play piano, or discipline the retards for the life of him. He's constantly made fun of.

I'm just singing in a local ensemble to keep sane before I can go to college or somewhere where it won't be like this.

I'm an Alto II. It's great fun. XDD
God, I hate songs where people like Mozart base them off of chords. Then you're jumping everywhere with nothing to work with.

I'm in Concert Choir right now as a bass II. I wanna audition for Madrigal for next year. My teacher's a bit eccentric to say the least.

SECOND ALTO FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!

...If only because I literally will be an Alto for life, unless my vocal chords go through a massive change and I suddenly become a soprano, (ick :( I can't sing high to save my life. I sound like a dying animal when I try). Lol...XDD I was actually almost put on tenor, (I'm a girl, btw)...I know, sad, right? LOLz

But, yeah, I'm in an honors choir thing. It's fun. The director is hecka scary though. I missed two practices once because I was sick, and I seriously sat at home bawling my eyes out, cuz I was scared she'd, like, murder me. She's the moody musician type, you know? And I'm not even joking about the murdering part. I'm still not sure if she'll kill me... If no one hears from me in awhile, report to the police, please... 'O.o

I'm an alto, but depending on the song I can do soprano parts ok. Not WELL, just okay. But I don't do choir this year, I knew I wasn't going to have the time. Plus my choir friends are gone so no point anyway. But I did like it because we all were really tight until ppl started graduating/moving away and arrogant lower classmen thinking they were hot came in and caused drama. I wasn't in it last year either, but my friend told me there was so much going on in there that I wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of it. I never did a solo, I'm one of those ppl who likes to be in the back...and stay there.

There was this song we did...um..."It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing".....two words: never again. We had to do a dance with it and I felt so stupid. Thank goodness we only had a night show ><

But yeah, choir was awesome. I sort of miss it, but it wasn't rly my thing to begin with. Actually, I was only in choir those one or two years because it was put on my schedule ^.^ lol

I auditioned to become part of my school's chorale (select choir) and I got it. I am an alto lol we've been practicing for 2 months and we sound pretty awesome. one song I love singing is a combo of different songs from Les Miserables; it made me want to see the play now lol.

we should be doing some competitions soon, as well as concert performances at our school.
