While many believe that choir is nothing but a group of people coming together to sing some songs, actual choir members know better than this. Just like everyone else, we went in expecting little, but we all came out changed in ways that we were not adequately prepared for.

1. Harmonizing with the radio.

We don't mean to annoy you. We just can't help but add in a harmony whenever it's possible.

2. Choreographing everything.

Grapevines, jazz squares, and pivot-turns for days.

3. Hating songs after noticing a flat or sharp note.

And fighting the urge to say, "tune it up," whenever we hear it.

4. Getting annoyed when your friends sing off key.

And, once again, fighting to say, "tune it up," whenever we hear it.

5. Feeling sympathy pains whenever we hear someone strain their voice.

We were hurting for the lead singer of Nickelback before he knew he was hurt.

6. Silently judging everyone's poor vowel-shaping.

You would blend in much better if you brought the corners of your lips in. Just saying.

7. Getting a false reputation from television.

No, choir is not like "Glee." No one comes up with vocal arrangements like that on the spot.

8. No one understands your music puns.

"I didn’t want my kids to join band or orchestra and risk being exposed to so much sax and violins." Now that is comedy gold.

So, fellow choir nerds, while the rest of the world may not understand us, at least we have each other.
