Welcome to Gaia! ::

My choir is pretty much unstereotyped..

*gasp!* is there such a thing?!?

Well.. my choir kinda is.

I'm reading through the threads with the altos picking on sapranos, sapranos picking on altos... which Tenors and bass just kinda hang out and eat pizza... or whatever you guys do in your off time...

but most of the stereotypes I'm reading are completely opposite for my choir

(besides a couple saprano ones, like them being preps.. Thats true in my choir, but some of them are cool preps)

I'm just wondering.. how many people are in your choirs? We seriously only have about 25 total (3 tenor, 3 bass, 8 alto and 8 saprano) (Due to lack of singing guys at my school) so we're mostly cool with each other and we leave our differences outside when we sing.. Maybe choir group size has something to do with it?

Why must there be choral rivalry? We're all singing the same song, afterall. Melody is just as important as harmony.

there are not much of rivalrys between parts in my show choir. there are 48 members in my choir. but if you combine all the show choirs at my school (5 main show choirs, advanced mixed, advanced womens, intermidiate womens, intermediate mixed, and intermediate mens.) you have over 185 singers. about a large amount (about 80 i think) are guys. so yea. my choirs are big.

Our choir has a whopping 68 members. Never mind sectional rivalry... there's INTERSECTIONAL rivalry! There's the normal sopps (the "losers" who aren't the steriotypical sopps) versus the steriotypical (preps/sluts/bitches) sopps, the quiet/ignorant (don't want to learn or sing) altos versus the serious, experienced altos.

And as you said, the guys just kind of kick back and eat O_o

what is with that? Guys never rival! They're just all cool with eachother, except for the odd loser that walks in on them. I wish girls could be like that ._.

Which is why I preffer a guy's company.

i love singing harmonies even though i am saprano. i dont get y a lot of sapranos comlain about melody and the altos complain about harmony. i simply love both. without harmony the music is slightly boring.

in my choir that's not the case.

the sapranos like the bases more (mainly 'cause those guys are so likable) but most of us altos hang out with the tenors more ('cause altos are crazy like the tenors.. which half of them are probably getting kicked out next semester.. which involves 1 1/2 of them. (The 1/2 is 'cause I'm not sure about one of them, but the other one will probably most likely be kicked out..))

oh how fun!

can I be there with a video camera? razz

Same with my choir, Lianna! Well, the nobody working bit. Seriously, we have 1 alto that still sings, and 4 sopranos that do... sweatdrop The rest kinda goof off or pretend they're working when they're not.

There's only...um...18 of us? Yeah, something like that. 2 guys, 8 sopranos, and 8 altos. Our altos don't sing out at all, and complain about anything higher than a G or so being too high for them to sing. The sopranos are all too quiet as well, but nobody in the choir save one of the guys and myself can actually read music. And the others brag about it. Being a section leader is fun!

Oh, and the altos dislike the fact that they have to sing the harmony. Then we give them the melody and they complain that it's too high. Oh, did I mention 5 or so of our members are tone deaf?

...yeah. I cannot wait for college.

Um...my concert choir has a lot of people I've never really counted. If I had to guesstimate I would say about 25 altos, 15 sopranos, 8 basses, and 3 tenors. That choir has a lot of cliques and is kind of annoying, but I don't think anyone completely hates anyone.

My show choir has 34 members (9 altos 8 sopranos 12 basses and 5 tenors) Pretty much everyone gets along perfectly in show choir. It has a real family environment. There's just one kid that no one likes, because he skips all the practices and when he does go he just sits there when we're supposed to be dancing gonk
