Once a choir kid, always a choir kid. However, singing alto is something that no one but altos understand. Alto is the most difficult voice part, due to the amount of sight reading and harmonizing, but it is also the easiest in that we carry an E flat for 12 consecutive measures. There's nothing like being an Alto.

1. "There's always that one soprano."

She can't help it -- there's always one soprano who is louder than the rest, and slightly off key.

2. "Anyone need an E flat?"

When you're an alto, you can hold an E flat through the entire song, and you will rock that E flat.

3. Pedal notes

To reiterate, altos possess the skill of singing one note over and over and over, in order to keep the choir together. However, altos are amazing at this, and it's not as bad as it sounds.

4. How glorious it is when altos get the melody.

Yes! The melody! Finally!

5. When an alto gets the melody, they instinctively sing harmony.

There's that E flat again.

6. When an alto tries to sing a high note, and no sound comes out.

Whoops. Well, at least I tried.

7. Altos are honorary tenors, sometimes.

And it's OK, sometimes Altos sing tenor better than the tenors do.

8. When singing with sopranos, altos have to sing the guy part.

But, hey, we can rock a tenor solo for sure.

9. Not being able to sing high notes during warm up.

Sometimes, it takes us awhile, but we'll get there. Or you know, someone could write a warm up designed for altos -- just saying.

10. All good audition songs are written for sopranos.

I'm just going to leave this here.

11. When a soprano gets an alto solo.

The literal worst thing, ever.

12. If the choir doesn't sound good, an alto is never to blame.

We sing one note the entire time, how could it possibly be our fault?

13. Altos get all the great intervals.

You know it.

14. "Good job, sopranos."

Let's take this as, altos never make mistakes.

15. Altos have bragging rights about being the best sight readers.

It takes a lot of work to be an alto!
