Yesterday in choir, the tenors kept making the same mistake over and over again, so our director kept saying "did you hear the one about the tenor who was so stupid that the other tenors noticed...?"
Everyone was cracking up, but... really. That's a huuuuge stereotype right there (even if it's an amusing one sometimes).
Yeah. Tell stories and whatnot.

My teacher says sopranos are stuck up and think to highly of themselves, but she's a soprano. neutral
Don't really have any sectional jokes, sorry.

O.o
But I just remembered something about men's choir. My teacher tells us to tighten our stomache muscles and support our sound. She says whenever she tells the boys to tighten their muscles, she hears about five people fart. xd

I loved the tenors one.
I can't really think of a good stereotype.

oh my gosh the chamber choir at my school has the greatest inside joke ever! in old madrigal music, they would use "fa la la's" to replace sexual reference. so we're always saying things like, "how was the fa la la last noght" and replacing the sex lines in rap songs. it gets pretty funny.
tenors are always making fun of soprano's. we mock them back. it's a pretty fun time
my choir teacher flings rubber bands at kids. we fling them back.
i love my choir!

When I went to All-State here in Florida, I was in the 7-8 Mixed Chorus, our director told us a stereotype that surprised me. He said, while we were practicing "The Gift To Be Simple" Arranged by Bob Chilcott, (There is this part where the Sopranos need to count since we were the ones who came in first)
"Okay, Sopranos, I know that people say Sopranos can't count..."
We just sat there shocked! It was offending... But oh so true! Almost nobody came on the right beat so, yeah, the truth really does hurt! sweatdrop

How can you tell there's a soprano at your door? She can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in. xd
There was a good tenor one too, but I don't remember it. In my defense, my director told these jokes last year.
Oh, yes, my theater teacher's daughter's voice teacher (there's a connection!) gave a very quick passing joke when she was explaining resonance to Taylor. She was saying that sound resonated in your chest, in your throat, in around by your nose, and that tenors had this special space between their temples where their sound could resonate as well. When I told my director that, he laughed and said it's not just the tenors, Soparanos have it too.
I feel bad that I don't have any alto jokes. No one seems to make fun of them...

The altos in our choir have issues with projection stare our teacher practically has to wail on them to get them to bring their part out in the music.
The whole Sopprano issue with counting and all that... yeah, I don't really have that issue :yay:., seeing as I'm in band(s). 3nodding sweatdrop
And I liked the Oboe crack.
Anyways, it's not really a joke, but my teacher always calls the soppranos "the hen house"... mostly because our section is half preps, and when he's working with the other sections, half of what you can hear (annoyingly over the singing) is "OMG did you see that guy last night?!" o_o;;;

Ther's always the stereotype, for Soprano 1s, that we're stuck-up and think to highly of ourselves. I sang a song last year called Alto's Lament where the altos just complain about singing harmony all the time. There is also the stereotype that altos complain too much and they are too quiet. Soprano 2s just are too soft.

Our little middle school choir, for 6th-8th graders puts the Sopranos, which is mostly 6th grade girls, in Choir 1. Choir 2 is "supposed" to be the Altos, us 7th-8th grade gals, though really, some people belong in Choir 1, but try telling that to our choir director...
And the guys are all put in Choir 3.
Our director refers to choir 1 as "Girls!" And Choir 3 as "Boys!"
It often leaves us Altos wondering where we fit into this circle of life. And thus...we have named ourselves...."ASEXUALS! WHY AREN'T YOU SINGING!?!?!?!?!"

CleopatraKaiba Blondebelle2 My choir techesr says to tightlen you butt cheeks, everyone gets an inch taller and gets a really funny look on their face... So funny. So does mine. But what's really funny is when she talks about the "Italian secret," which is basically, your voice sounds better when you act like you're constipated. It's really funny explaining it to young choiristers cause they give you this look like OMFG!!! O.o

In barbershop music, you'll find that the baritones are pitch-bitches biggrin
