Why Choir is Awesome

[Accan]

I've been in my high school choir program since January 2010, so it's been over two years I've been singing. At first i was in the men's choir, which isn't so great, but fall semester of 2010 I jumped right into our varsity group. I've had the pleasure of performing the following pieces professionally, as well as plenty of others:

Those last two i performed in choirs very similar to the ones you heard, except it's region 19 I was in, not region 22. (We sounded better

My high school choir sang this next year. Best song everrrr! Except it sounded better because we had an orchestra rather than whatever instruments these people had.

Bonus: an awesome piece I haven't sang, but it's awesome. And the director is awesome.

My hatred for choir probably comes from my Elementary School forcing all kids into it for all 6 years (Kindergarten stupids). It was probably the day every year where the teacher made you sing by yourself in front of the whole class, me being a shy kid, i HATED it. I like to listen to the choir sing (somewhat) but you will not force me into choir.

I never did Choir ever in school. I did a musical or two but only sang backstage and shit; never thinking I had a voice at all.

Then I did a church choir when I randomly joined a youth group (they didn't know I was atheist) and they all were like OHMYGOD A BOY WANTS TO SING WITH US? OHMYGOD AND HIS VOICE IS SOOO AWESOME. So they had me sing lot's of bass and tenor; but I could sing some soprano and most all Alto too. So the few months I sang with them, after every service all these old people who haven't seen me before were like YOUR VOICE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU FOR SINGING TODAY; and I was like LOL MY VOICE IS AWESOME.

Then I took over the world.

Kinda crazy when you think about it.

Also pretty cool stuff Accan, I find it nuts that people can sing like that together and make it come out real good.

Well, at my sisters Trophy ceremony for her church soccer bullshit, some girl I knew from school asked me to join the youth group and go with them to Kings Dominion in a month, so I was like HELL YEAH.

Joined the youth group; 8-12 people, and they rarely even talked about anything religious; and when we did I just played along and managed to offer the insight the youth minister was looking for when it came to bible lessons. :l So they thought I was this amazing insightful christian-like kid when really I'm a pothead who believes God may be real but not in the sense anyone else believes via historic texts. Etc. Then they were like JOIN CHOIR; so I did and yeaaap. Was a fun time honestly, I loved those kids, though the middle school boys were the most annoying twats on the planet.

Basically I did it for social reasons cause I was bored and they were aiiiight. I don't hate people for their beliefs opposing mine and if anything it was a learning experience; at first it was to humor their ideals/free amusement park but in the end it probably helped me become the more understanding person I am today.. as opposed to the raging atheist I was a while back. I wouldn't consider myself an atheist anymore, I'd rather be my own religion given everyone has a different belief regardless of what they classify their religion to be..

Etc; enter my thoughts on religion. No need to turn the thread into that; Choir =/= Religion I was just stating how weird my experience was in realizing I could sing, old bitches at churches are the best critics.
