8 Things Every Choir Kid Can Relate To As Told By Spongebob

Breathe from your diaphragm.

Choir people are of a very special nature. We are ready to break out into song at any moment, can harmonize with basically anything, and are supposed experts at lifting our soft palates. Whether we like to admit it or not, no matter how old we get, we will always be choir kids, and we will always be able to relate to these struggles.

1. When someone is flat

This can often be physically painful to hear, and several times, I have had to stop myself from outwardly cringing. Honestly, sometimes I envy people who can't hear it, for they must live in a blissful world of perfect singers.

2. When the harmonies are off

Someone needs to go up a half step. Please. For the sake of our ears.

3. When one person isn't in rhythm

Let's be real. We all usually know who it is. We're just waiting for the director to say something, or for that one kid who has no filter to blurt it out.

4. When someone's vowels aren't pure

It has been drilled into our brains since the dawn of time: you must round your vowels. Rounding your vowels is as important to singing as breathing is to living. We all know the real horror that is sounding like a middle school choir when you don't follow the rule.

5. When people aren't hitting the ending consonants

Are they saying sleep? Or are they saying sleet? Maybe they're saying sleek? The world will never know.

6. When your director suddenly changes the tempo

This inevitably always seems to happen right before or even during a super important performance. The goal is to not freak out and not let it show on your face that you have never done it this way before.

7. When you finally get to arrange your own piece (and it's bomb)

Once in a while, we are fortunate enough to be let out of the realm of choral music, and when we are, great things happen.

8. When you find a magical unicorn of a singer

You know who I'm talking about. Those people that you just want to keep a tiny version of in your pocket, so they can sing to you whenever you're sad. Despite our often harder than normal judgments of singers, we are able to recognize the true greatness of especially fantastic vocalists.

Whether you are still in choir or you're a seasoned alumni, somehow, we are all able to relate. Even if it's just over the hideous floor-length gowns or the avoidance of all things dairy on competition days, we always manage to find things in common. Choir will always be a part of us, and the memories of endless rehearsals and the friendships we made will never fade.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
