last tuesday the 15th, was the spring sing where all of the choruses (elementary, MS and HS) come sing at the Highschool Gym
this was the most funniest thing ever, the only time we lost focus during singing xd while we were singing an irish jiggish song "the beggerman" some highschooler guy in the far corner of the audience was doing a mock jig, irsh dance of some sort
then later during one other performance the microphone tipped over and made this huge sharp sound that mircophones usually make when things like that happen xd it happened in the middle of our performance and we stopped, silence, and than one girl in the chorus began to crackle and snorted out laughing which started the whole audience and chorus to laugh
turned out she started laughing was because she saw a guy in teh audience make a funny srunching face when the mircophone made the sharp screeching sound xd xd xd what a night
so anything embarrassing, funny, bad happen during a performance? surprised whee

Well, my choir did this really fun gospel song once, and our director encouraged us to have fun, sway with the music, clap, dance, all that good stuff while we performed to get the true spirit of Gospel Music out. Well Bradly Mac goes out to the front of the stage during our performance and starts doing the worm. It was AWESOME. The audience started cheering

I think the worst that's ever happened is when we had to sing this song that we had only practiced like three times. So we only knew a couple phrases. So, during that song, all we did was mumble stuff to the tune, and when a phrase came up that we knew, we would sing it loud and clear. I even asked a couple people from the audience, and no one could tell what we were singing. xd
I can't think of anything else, we don't really mess up that often. ^_^

Where should I begin?
How about with the most insignificant one:
During a high school show choir competition we were performing our 50's set and one of our songs was Blue Suede Shoes. The song right before that, I don't remember what it was anymore, somebody stepped on the back of my shoe as I was going up to the platform. I ended up kicking my shoe off accidentally and ended up performing half the songs without a shoe.
Later that year, we performed a new Disney set featuring songs from The Lion King, Hercules, and others. The guys always safety pinned their shirts so they wouldn't come out while we were dancing. Well, mine ripped and kept coming out.

We kept going out of tune on our songs last year. It was horrible. x_x
Oh, and there was the incident with the furnace... but that was before I made it into A Cap, and I was quite happy to see their performance kinda... wrecked. Most of them were sor arrogant that they deserved it, horrible as it sounds.

Earlier in the year at a choir festival, we messed up on the lyrics of Music of the Night. Then we did the exact same thing later when we were oerformng at the state capitol. Luckily, the audience couldn't tell.

My choir did 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard,' and the altos, basses and tenors had some cool sort of scat parts where they sang "le le le o le le," or something like it, under the sopranos. Well, a few days before the concert, I got sick, so during practice, I would just mouth the words, and I found myself mouthing their part when the sopranos weren't singing. During the concert, I accidentally started singing it at one point. xp

It was during my senior year when this incident ocurred. We were doing our huge Christmas concert in this really nice church. Behind us was this kind of low wall thing with pointsettias lines up on top of it. We were singing "Deck the Halls" except it was a different version of it. All the verses were the same but the "Falalala" parts instead of the traditional tune it had different tunes instead. Like the Williamtell Overture and The Blue Danube. Because we found this song silly we decided to make a funny little show out of it. During the verses we would stand prim and proper and sing them. And then during the "Falalala" one of the choir members would come down in front and start doing silly things while the rest of us looked like she was crazy. Well, one of the last "Falalalas" was to the tune of the Overture of 1812. This time two of the girls got down and pretended to have a fight while the rest of us marched around them singing. For the final "La" we came back together to sing it except our ordering got messed up so nobody was in the right spot so we were trying to discreetly move to our correct places while still singing. Well, on the way back to my spot I accidentily knocked over one of the pointesetias so when it hit the floor the whole audience could hear the loud "thump". I was so embarrased. I'm not sure if anybody knew it was me who had knocked it over.

Our first concert in England last year was at a church in Henley on Ardon, or something like that. I've got it written down somewhere, but I'm too lazy to go find it. xp The entire choir was up in the guildhall waiting for the audience to get seated so that we could go down for the performance. We were just starting to try to get people to line up in our standing order when all of the sudden all of the lights went out. At first we thought that someone had played a prank and we were yelling at them to turn the lights back on, then we looked out the windows and noticed that every light in the street was also out. Apparently there was a pretty terrible windstorm going through and had power out across half the country. The concert started a little late because we had to find candles to get us downt he stairs to the main part of the church (this was a 700 year old church, we didn't really want to try to navigate the stairs in the dark!). When we got down there, the pastor was lighting candles all around the room, and we made makeshift candle holders out of paper and spread them out throughout the choir and did our first concert by candelight. It was actually really cool. gave a whole new atmosphere to the concert. The unfortunate part? We were in a 700 year old church in england during March at 9:00 at night. Without the electric heater is got REALLY freakin cold! And our dresses offer about as much warmth as wrapping tissue paper around you would, so by the end of the concert we were all freezing to death and ran back up the stairs to get our tour sweatshirts. Still, it was an amazing experience, one of my favorite choir memories.

Well at HS graduation...we went to go sing the national anthem. The band struck up, the choir breathed in, ....and the director started saying the pledge into the microphone. No one knew what to do....so the bad just cut off and the choir started to sing the first verse. We were partway through the second line when the band director ran in front of us waving his arms to get us to stop...
Then during "The Impossible Dream" we had a senior girl trip and fall on her face when she was coming up to join us on the risers.

Oof. For my 7th grade spring concert, we had this huge selection of 50's songs, if I remember correctly. We were doing the line "Well I stepped out of the tub, put my feet on the floor" and the choreography just... DIED. Seriously, I think we ruined any chance of doing any choreography whatsoever with that choir teacher. We saw us on video and we looked really dumb.

Let's see... In 9th grade, we were doing a version of 'Ave Maria', where there was a very long, held out note on the first note on 'Ah-ve...' by the performance, we were flat almost a full note. sweatdrop
In Pops's(kind of like an all singing and one dance number variety show) this year, one of the girls was doing "I'm a Woman", except you couldn't understand a word she was saying, and one night she tripped while going down the stairs that were on stage, they were part of the staging.
_Tenshi_: I think I know what song you're talking about! The 8th grade jazz choir did it this year! One of the boys came on stage during the "William Tell Overature" part with a pair of cymbles! La, la-la-la-la-la la la, CRASH! It was so funny! During one of them they were riding invisible horses!
