It's the morning of the concert and you open the fridge, bleary-eyed and tired, for breakfast...
Oh no! Milk, syrup, chocolate, oatmeal?
What are your experiences with foods and choir-performance? Do you have any suggestions as to what not to eat?
Also, please, if you know any, reccomend some choir-friendly breakfast items biggrin

Fruit is excellent breakfast. Apples are a good, safe way to scour out the gunk that can build up in your throat. I also like bagels, but I'm not sure how good those are, and I eat them plain, so the cream cheese probably wouldn't help much...
But yes, fruit is excellent. I eat fruit in the mornings a lot when I know I have to sing.
If I can find fruit. *curses college cafeterias and their non-fruitful selection*

I avoid eating right before a concert, or eating dairy near concert time, because if I get at all nervous and I've had dairy I get a stomach ache.
So fruit would be good, whole grains would be good. Make sure there's more food in your stomach than liquid. And make sure you eat plenty.

Yeah, our choir teacher always tells us to get lots of sleep and drink lots of water, and to NOT drink milk or sticky soda on the day of a concert, it gets your throat phlegmy.
But she said sparkling water helps as a nice emergency clearer. All the bubbles of soda without the sticky sugar.

toast with water or lemon water... The toast is abrasive enough to cut away at all the crap in your throat, which will feel good and let you sing louder... The water and lemon are obvious. Apples right before the concert if your throat is bad is great!

Absolutely no dairy. But of course, that's a given...
Even when I had the earliest lunch time, if I ate nacho cheese at lunch, My throat still wouldn't have recovered by after-school rehearsal.
And soda. Makes your throat sticky.

I do choir and drama. its the same in both, no dairy right before a performance, it does something to keep you from projecting.
No meat right before either, or sweets. only drink is water.
And no breads.... both my choir teacher and drama director said that

Marshmallows, chocolate, I find that soda, corbonated water, flavored water. Even the lemon stuff. NOT GOOD FOR YOUR VOICE.
