Kalstolyn x.Marsh[mel]low.x =/
I would have done the same thing. If I'm absent from choir, or too sick to sing, I work HARD to catch up at home. I download the song that we're learning, I learn my line on piano, I sing it out, work through it slowly, whatever I can. Even if I'm sick, I don;t go to the infirmary, I sit in class and watch, and listen.
I HATE people who are lazy and expect the choir to repeat itself, just because THEY weren't there.
What I even hate MORE are the ignorant girls in the back, who act like they're know-it-alls, but don't follow through.
Like, this one girl kept saying "well, maybe if they'd all COUNT, it'd be better!"
Well.. seriously. There's this one part in one of the songs we're doing where (me, being a drummer and therefore Nazi on perfect rhythm) I always have to start the WHOLE sopprano section, because they're too lazy to count. There's seriously two seconds where I sing alone because they can't fit it. And it's so easy too.
And then this girl, the one who was bitching about counting, had the nerve to say "uhm, and we need to start as a group. There's someone who starts before everyone, and it's really annoying."
I said "uhm, sweetheart, that someone is me, and I'm starting in the right place, unlike everyone else. Maybe you should... hmm... what did you say last class... ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO COUNT?"
She got all pissy like "Don't you tell me how to sing, I'm in grade 12!" and the director was like "uhm... actually, she IS coming in exactly on time. Maybe you should follow her, instead of automatically assuming that just because you're at a 30 level, and she's at a 20, that you know better."
I was proud. Bahahahahaha! I know where you live now! I wish we had a choir in high school. Even one not for credit. But there wasn't even a choir when I moved out here to Alberta (just in time to start grade 12... evil ). My university choir has its share of idiotsticks though. There was one soprano who sat in front of my brother and I one semester (we always sang in mixed formation that semester) and she was constantly talking with/writing notes to/generally being annoying with the girl next to her, and the next girl down. One day she walked up to me after rehearsal and stood right in my face and told me it would be nice if my brother and I didn't talk through the entire rehearsal because it's really distracting and disrespectful. We had chuckled at one joke during the course of the rehearsal, that's it. I told her it was nice how she and her friends could do it, but we obviously weren't cool enough to be human. Gah. We've got a couple of other girls who are just ignorant and rude as well. Incidentally they all happen to be sopranos. Strange trend. We had one of the too-lazy-to-pay-attention-and-learn-his-part types in our tenor section for about three years, too. Very annoying. My worst stories come from band class back in high school though.... but we won't go there.
Yeaaaah... good old band class slackers ._.

Being an alto, I stand in front of the tenors in our choir. Unfortunatly for me, I stand directly in front of the LOUDEST tenor in the entire section. He very well might be the loudest person in the entire choir. It's not that hes bad or anything, but I can't hear anyone else. Ever D: Not even the altos around me.

Yup. There was an evil girl named Brittany in my chamber chorale in high school. She always bitched at me, said I wasn't blending, then went on an on about how another girl always blended. That other girl did not always blend. And I was in a section without veyr many strong altos like me. She was a b***h.
I understand your situation.

x.Marsh[mel]low.x Kalstolyn Bahahahahaha! I know where you live now! It was the 10-20-30 level thing. Only in Alberta do they number the high school courses so strangely. (for those who are not around there, instead of having courses numbered to match grades, like 10-11-12, they make them all confusing, and add extra numbers in for non-academic streams and stuff)

Whoo! Time for stories!!
Okay, in beginning choir at my school, which anyone can get into as long as they have either 11th open (freshman girls) or 3/4th open (anyone is allowed in there)
Now, I HAD to start out in beginning. Why? It's the rules for freshman, since we don't have a day to audition before.
Now, in that beginning class, half of the alto section wouldn't even sing and kept talking while the director was instructing the sapranos. Well, in the sapranos was one of my friends who is a really good, confident singer. (of course, she also didn't have an audition before that, so she was in the beginning as well)
There were these girls that kept giggling and making fun of her whenever she was heard above the other sapranos. Is it really her fault they don't want to be there and that she's stronger?
Well, I pretty much wanted to hit the girls every day. They wouldn't even open their mouths to sing, causing the rest of us altos to cover for their lazy butts.. or the altos that actually wanted to be there.
Well, at the semester change I auditioned out of that class and into advanced women. (My friend auditioned straight to the honors class. I didn't even bother with it 'cause I didn't think of myself as that great of a singer yet)
Well, there was this girl in the class.. I seriously don't know how she even got in. She would always argue with the director and everything and refuse to sing. She wasn't even at the concert, but was excused because she was in the hospital. She wouldn't pay for anything, like the class shirts of the 3 tickets we're supposed to sell or anything. It was freaking annoying. The only reason why I didn't snap on her was because she could fight and was about twice as big as me. (She was tall and broad, not fat. I would've yelled if she was fat)
So then I auditioned out of there as quick as can be and am now in the honors class where the only annoyance is this one tenor who thinks he's so cool, but isn't really.. he's just annoying.
whoot!.. story time is over for me.

So there's this girl in choir. Her name is Courtney. I want to shove her off a building, but that's an entirely different story and has to do with messing with my friends... not something I would recommend doing. Anyway, she's an alto. Thankfully, I no longer am an alto, but she sits right behind my best friend (who happens to be the one she was screwing with... a little tension there in the first place). She doesn't even attempt to find the alto part. But she's not one of those altos that sings along with the sopranos, or sings the soprano line flat, or something like that. Oh no. That would be bareable. We're never really sure what she's singing. Apparently she was switching between bass and tenor during the last rehearsal. Chronically flat on both of them, and screwing them up, but not coming anywhere near to her own part. She thinks she's amazing too. Picked up an application for a choir scholarship. I laughed inside. I stand in front of her in our mixed formation (which we don't use much because people are dumb.) so I also get to experience the wonders of her tone-deafness.
We also have a bass that insists on singing soprano. That's fun.
Then there's Bonnie... who I can't even begin to describe. Along with being consistently a quarter-tone flat, she has a very piercing voice, is very loud, thinks she's amazing, and thinks she's incredibly funny and that everyone loves her. She has no respect for our director, usually shows up to choir about a half hour late, and generally gets on all of our nerves throughout the rehearsal. Only thing keeping any of us going is the fact that she's graduating in May... I think we would all cry if she didn't. We can't take another semester of her.

Well, I get mad everyday in choir.
I'm the only guy in my class that actually sings. And to top that off, they talk over the piano, which makes me sing twice as loud.

I sit next to this kid who makes it his number one goal to cause as much disruption in class so that we can't get any work done. He doesn't do it to piss me off, he just wants attention. He doesn't understand that chorus doesn't revolve around him.

Well.. Since I'm in the top choir, we don't really have anyone that's blatantly mean.. xD
But god the vowel sounds. The entire alto section, excluding myself and one other girl that sits too far away from me for me to hear her, sings like a third grade choir.
dfskf
It bugs the crap out of me, and I cannot wait untill my choir director starts chewing them out about it.

Yeah frankly I've taken to getting rather peeved with bad vowels. People don't seem to get that like one or two people not on board with the right vowels does make a difference... stare
