Mel_Darkflame Okay... so... we're in choir, going through one of our new songs, and all of a sudden, two altos burst out of line, and bolted across the room screaming. Everyone just kinda stared and tried to pick up the song with the piano, but then four or so MORE screamed and dived for cover. One of them yelled "BEE!" and the whole section (and there's like... 20 to 30 people in that section) scattered. Now, don't get me wrong, it was a big bee... but honestly? Anyways, it kinda buzzed over to the guys (temors/basses), and usually guys are all macho, right? Well... about four of them screamed "holy crap!" and the whole section either a) fell over or b) scattered. So much for tough guys =/
Anyways, THEN it came over to the sopparnos, kind of disoriented because the teacher turned most of the lights out (except for one) and one girl leapt in the air, screamed, and nailed it with her music. The room sounded like there was a serial killer chasing everyone =/
Me and my fellow sopprano friend Jessi were just dying in our chairs laughing X)
So... anyone else had hilarious choir interruptions? LOL that's happened to us, only it was a WASP :]

Blue Silver I remember one from High School. XD
We were singing this song, "Auction Cries" and for little parts, sections would have to do, well, an auction cry, the little auction cry things weren't supposed to be pretty, they were supposed to be all nasally and awful... 3nodding And the choir director says "The judges aren't going to be looking for a beautiful melody here."
My name is Melody, so thinking I'd be funny, my hand shot up and I shouted "RIGHT HERE! I'M OVER HERE."
It took the choir a little bit to get it, but then they all burst out laughing. Since, in HS I was the shy, quiet girl with the big voice. 3nodding aww thats adorable :] i've wanted to name my kid either melody or Harmony for the longest time :]

Ayamechan Irony is, bumble bees don't even sting. They just buzz around and be fuzzy. o_o; Interruptions in my group usually mean the director stopping to insult a section other than alto (in order of most often insulted: tenors, sopranos, basses). I guess being the "support" section has its bonuses... interesting, our director usually rides the altos on everything, then tenors, basses, and the sopranos get very little critisium, other then to stop letting the other groups slack because we'll just do the whole piece ourselves, and to watch certain keychanges and jumps and stuff so we don't go sharp

Lady Frassy Frass During our UIL group contest for sightreading, one of our sopranos toppled over the risers...you could just hear the choir cringing since that's what probably cost us a 2 instead of a 1.
We had to do something like that for district choir festival, except what cost us points was that our tenors were making stupid boy small talk in the back of the room during the time you get to look the piece over. Our director was about ready to kill them off. We made states and didn't get to go because he said that even though the girls have performed as womens symphonic we went to districts as a combined symphonic and had to perform with the boys, and he said he wouldn't let them embarasses us as a group again so we couldn't go to states and let them make us look undeticated.
