      AnOstrichYoutubing - the band played Hallelujah and the choir sang with us last year at our chrismas concert but the band was so much louder than the choir and we were playing in a gymnasium so the acoustics were trash. Also the orchestra wasn’t a part of it. I don’t understand why they separate the band and orchestra, we should all play together like an actual orchestra.

    My choir director, we do major scale with numbers as well but we also choose 2 numbers to skip over so we actually have to pay attention and sing at the right time and the right notes and pitches etc. it’s really beneficial to learn how to skip around especially when you skip with mi , fa , sol since theyre quite similar and you can be off key easily

    Me: watches this video
    Also me: regrets quitting choir
    Still me: remembers that my choir director was emotional abusive and among other things, straight up told me that I couldn’t sing in front of the class
