11 Types of People You Meet in Choir

Choir can definitely be a very overlooked activity at many schools which is a shame because there are so many amazing choirs in colleges and high schools everywhere. People who are simply observing from the outside tend to think that people in choir are either like the kids from Glee or Pitch Perfect or that they’re all religious nuts. While this may not be wrong for some, there are plenty of other types in choir that they’re forgetting.

1. The One at the Piano

This one’s pretty obvious because during any sort of break they will try to find a piano and break into Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” or that one four chord song melody everyone always does. This is the Glee and Pitch Perfect type who can give choir kids a bad rep.

2. The Teacher’s Pet

This one will volunteer for everything – solos, leading sectionals, filing music. They also have a favorite note, composer, lyricist, and they probably know or have sung every single song at least twice before. You know the type.

3. The One Who Wants to be Famous

This is the person always auditioning for solos and singling louder than everyone. They tend to have trouble blending and also have the world’s biggest ego.

4. The One Who Sings Opera

This person generally has a voice that matures at a very young age. They love singing arias and unfortunately can have trouble blending if the choir doesn’t have the right sound.

5. The One Who Looks Like They Never Want to be There

Only on the exterior of course, because you know at home they probably dance around their house to Dan Forrest’s compositions on Spotify and secretly makes copies of every song they sing and keeps them in a binder for memories.

6. The Theater Person

This is the person who is probably only doing choir because it helps them when they audition for musicals. They can only talk about theater and sing just a little too loud. Most likely to be yelled at for scooping.

7. Silent but Deadly

This person is quiet most of the time – by this I mean they don’t really talk much. Then they open their mouth and sing and people's jaws drop and everyone nods their head in approval .

8. The One Who Writes Their Own Music

This is the person who also plays guitar or piano and writes acoustic songs in their bed with a cup of tea and a succulent and probably has a tapestry in their room. They never sing covers because they write their own songs which are so much better, obviously.

9. The One Who is Also in Band or Orchestra

They’re always so busy and are most likely always missing rehearsals for the other rehearsals.

10. The One Who Looks Like They Don’t Belong

This kid probably listens to death metal or post hardcore music in their spare time and wears really thick eyeliner and has dark hair and probably a lot of piercings. They also tend to have really pretty singing voices.

11. The One Who Just Loves Choir So So Much

Okay wait, this is all of us, nevermind.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
