This has happened many, many times before, both in middle school and now in high school. What is it with band kids bashing on the choir kids? What have we ever done to them? I remember in my eighth grade year we were going around to elementary schools to recruit new kids for the fine arts department. The problem was that we went with the band director too. We were supposed to sing for the elementary kids and talk to them first, but the band director was already at the elementary school when we got there! We waited about a half hour until my mom convinced our choir director to butt in because were only excused from class for a short while. The band director was pretty ticked off, but stepped aside for a while so we could perform. Later on in the day, he actually told our choir director off, saying that band was way better than choir. What a jerk! Anyway, these ideals were obviously passed on to his band students because they would always tease and laugh at us.
Same song, second verse in high school. No one ever acknoledges the choir's achievements, but when band places second or third best in a competition, everyone cheers, even though the choir had already gotten straight superiors at state competition. Choir just doesn't seem to get the respect that it deserves.

At our school, almost everyone in chorus is in band too, so we don't have those kinds of problems. The guy did deserve to get kicked, but actually doing it probably wouldn't solve anything, and bring about even more problems. sweatdrop

Choir receives no respect whatsoever at our school.
Despite the fact that many of our members are in band and/or drama, we receive no support from our fellow fine arts curriculars.
And we lost whatever tiny bit of repsect we had after we did the hula in front of the whole school.
Afterwards, even our friends came up to laugh at us and do sucky impressions.
(Don't even ask why we're doing the hula if we're supposed to be singing. It's the idiotic logic of our director.)
I don't know if I would've kicked the guy....I would hope that I'd be able to come up with a good response fast enough.
"So? Band people only blow into pipes.(Well, some of them) Even a whore can blow."
Or mebbe I would've just kicked him. Eh.

those people majorly piss me off. Especially the guys! Like, they push other guys away from chorus and WE NEED MORE GUYS IN CHORUS! LIKE, TENORS! GAH!
Like, I've gotten that a lot before, especially from the jocks. It just annoys me how people can be so insecure that they insult other people.
Gah! You should kick that guy!

At my school, choir just...isn't acknowledged, really. We're really small, so even if we do ask people to join, most just do it for the "easy A" or to fill an elective.
And the guys...? It's so hard to find a willing man who doesn't think choir is for sissy boys.
I have been told singing's way too easy and I'm not a real musician, which seriously p*sses me off. I really want to see some people actually hit high A with little warm-up and nearly non-existant lead-in (aka a good five, six note jump).

It's kind of the opposite with choir at my school...everyone wants to be in it. Way too many people in fact. O_o That's probably why there was 90 people in it last year...our director wanted too many people to be in it.

xDDD @ Epidemic
Making chorus an easy A, non audition, full credit class was a horrid mistake at our school.
We still have the people who are like 'CHORUS IS STUPID HAHA LOSERS'. There's a difference, though. They're in choir.

Wow, really? Back in my high school, the choir, band, and orchestra were all banded together. I remember we played with choir and band (I was in orch. in high school) quite a bit. Mainly, it was the jocks and those outside the music program who'd rag on us.

I'm not sure I would have kicked him, but you did have an okay reason too I guess. Where I go to school the choir has their own room. It's really nice too. Way nicer then the band and orchestra rooms. We just got a new air purifier and a humidifer last year to try and get the best climate in there for the choir ^^. We have air conditioning too. We use the band room sometimes if we do split rehersals to get parts down, and its really hot in there during the spring >.<.
