10 Signs You Were In Choir
Polished Corner Pillars

In high school there were all different groups of people just like any ordinary high school. There were the popular crew, the athletes, the anime lovers, and then there was the music kids. Being a music kid meant that you spent a decent amount of time in the music wing doing what you love. Being in choir in high school was something great to be apart of. You always had friends in your class and you knew that this class would be the highlight of you long day. Here are some signs you were in choir in high school.

1. Singing songs on the radio.

Most choir teachers like to pick popular songs for you guys to sing. Every semester your teacher would pick a popular song that was non-stop playing on the radio. At first you guys are so happy with the song choice, but shortly by the end of 3 classes, you start to hate it. You guys would have to learn the song inside and out and then when you hear that song on the radio again you can never listen to it the same way. This also goes for any Christmas song that is played especially "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

2. Your teacher is your best friend.

Since you spend so much time in the music section of your school, you start to become very close with the teachers. Especially if your choir teacher has a free period, or during lessons, you knew that no work would get done and it would be all personal talk. You would talk about your classes and teacher or family or friends drama, and your teacher would do the same.

3. Warm ups were never fun for anyone.

No matter if you were a alto or a soprano, you hated warm ups. You would have to sing at your lowest and your highest. Some teachers would even make you do the "Do Re Mi" scale with hand gestures if you guys weren't paying attention properly. Or they would make you do sigh reading. You know id you had to sight reading, your teacher wasn't messing around that day.

4. You always try to harmonize with everything.

Just because you can harmonize to a song in class, doesn't mean you can do that with a song on the radio. You knew that learning harmonies wasn't fun to begin with, but for some reason you still try to do it with every song you hear.

5. Dairy products were the enemy.

Choir students love dairy, even more when they know they can't have it due to a concert coming up. Dairy makes the voice strain more, so choir students have to stay away from anything dairy including chocolate milk or coffee.

6. Tea and honey are the saviors.

No matter what time of year it is, choir kids love tea and honey. They drink this usually before a concert to make their voices not strain.

7. Hearing younger people sing make you cringe.

Yes high school choir kids are not the best singers still, but they can hear where younger kids are going wrong with their singing.

8. We all try to follow the person with the loudest voice.

Even if we are confident in the music, we still try to listen to the person with the loudest voice to help you get through the song.

9. Knowing the sopranos take up a big part of the choir.

Even if there are only 5 of them, you know that they own that choir.

10. Always wanting to sing.

You could be in the library or in the shower and we will always want to sing the first song that comes to our head.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.
