[musicrazy11]

STORY OF MY LIFE.

[musicrazy11]

"I've sang this before."

[sdriscoll45]

[nerdface92]

THE FREAKING ACCURACY OMG

i've def. done some of this stuff and heard this ALL the time XD

LOVE IT

and yes i am totally BISECTIONAL. that's true, though. haha

[nerdface92]

THE FREAKING ACCURACY OMG

[danniomc462]

I've found my alter ego. haha

[ItsFaltzer]

aye, there's a tenor in my choir who's like that too, and half the time he sings really nasal and so heavy that it doesn't blend with the choir at all. -__-

[TheHotpinkicks]

This is pretty much everything.

[SierraSama12]

"What’s your favorite ave maria?" XD That sounds familiar for some odd reason! :O LOL XD

[Mahlerthegreat]

"I am bisectional". "thats what she said". LOL HAHA!

[naturluvr14]

1:56 Hipster choruster XD

[KatepRules]

This is so true XD

[exarkunrocks]

aw poor kitty

[RagingRogue9]

Should I be embarrassed that I do/have done almost everything they do in this video?

[Goldenblade14]

this is more like shit ADHD Choresters say.

[squishy1997]

Is it oh, or OOOOh?

[TheHorcruxes8]

Also, "Are we breathing together or staggering?", "Does anyone have a Ricola?", "Did you hear the overtones?"

[AlmostFamousFool]

Bisectional. Ahahaha.

[DylanxDarby]

I used to sing tenor, now I'm a baritone. I'm bisectional.

[BenMcCormack91]

@DylanxDarby I used to hate Bartok, but now I'm bitonal.

[Nomae97]

the tenors are so flat on that part. STORY OF MY LIFE

[thistimeisours3]

I've said so much of this, except that a part is too low. Why? I'm a contralto!! ^_^

[Sweeneydhart]

there is one girl in my choir who does it.....then she goes and corrects everyone around her when really its her that is singing wrong.......girls who think they know how the choir should sound

[theatrechick82]

THIS IS MY LIFE IN A YOUTUBE VIDEO! Love this! Choirsters unite!



[WallisFilm]

"this is your noooooote" ahaha so accurate.

Also, when the conductor tell you to turn to ave maria,

"WHICH ONE??"

[xTJProduction1000x]

LOL love it

[KateAndOrKatie]

Ohhhh my gosh, way too accurate! haha totally gonna have to describe myself as bi-sectional now, too ;) You forgot, "Oh hey, so we're totally both staggering at the same time, so we should probably work that out," "So, did you hear that choir at the performance? Because we could totally do that song 10 times better than them, their pitches were SO off and they were completely rushing it," "I feel like I'm going too dark on this section--should it be brighter, or like, kind of in the middle?" ;)

[SHALAFI123]

For real though, I swear she just quoted me for four minutes.

[aqtwitabooty4sho]

oh this is farrr too familiar hahaha

[daehanmingook7777]

I know someone who says this ALL. THE. TIME. with the same attitude too. How did I tolerate her? -_-"

[TheDemolitio]

lol.... "I think the Sopranos are Sharp!"

[havinghehs]

YAY!

[electrocutions]

LOL, too brilliant.

[cinnabangaru]

what i love is that you didn't make anything up.

we ACTUALLY say this every single day xD

[TheMisterFlux]

Aren't these things supposed to be funny?

[ParaFlight012]

[jamadatheregularppl]

[swimnpolo92]

[Aviationhub]

[glendlesutherland]

[MattsWorld95]

[choff14]

This is so true its scary

[Jasminexoxoable]

EVERY. DAY. omg! XD

[MissTiffyLove]

Oh my god

[FreemanVonDon]

Now we need one for high school choirs.

[narutofangrl]

@FreemanVonDon "Where are we starting?!"

[alixofacc]

omg i love this lol

[Mspraisegirl1]

MAN I hated those people in University Chroi!!! Pretty funny!

[ashowproductions]

I have friends exactly like this! haha also check out "Shit Guitarists Say"

[choirman57]

This young lady must be one of those "DIVA" Sops you hear about all the time - Nothing but HOT AIR. lol. Every choir has one. :)

[ifihadadime4]

Thumbs up if u love Paul Caldwell!

[michellelenne]

OMG. This is so me. I'm not even kidding.

[lifeisgolden41]

Altos ftw!

[QuePasaNinq]

Lol, spot on!

[intothewoodsjr11]

WHITACRE. :D My choral instructor's favorite seems to be John Rutter though, oh God...

And I'm bisectional. ;D As well as being a soprano, the section that gets so much crap for everything just cuz our part is the most easily heard. ._.

[FallOutGirl219]

This is so true!!!!

[LoveDemyx]

I'm bisectional.

[Bluekid239]

1:55 "Eric Whitacre... I heard about him, like, way before he was popular." What a hipster.

[officialY1p]

how about,seriously if I smile any more wide I'm gonna explode (show choir memories :)

[Jfireprime]

Shit sopranos say

[WumboRagamuffin]

Everything in this is true. This girl needs an award.

[debriellecdm]

you forgot popcorn, that may very well be worse than eating nuts lol

[santiryro19skibuni]

"what's your favorite "Ave Maria"?" :P

[DJvolli]

I hate that one chick that is always blaming her section for failing like she isnt even apart of it! Arg!!

Good job!!

[ayemusiced]

This is so spot on! I've been in choir too long LOL

[futurestar6]

bi-sectional! woooo. :) hahahahha. this is way too accurate. obsessed.

[hazeymusic10]

"I used to sing alto now I'm a soprano! I'm bisectional!" ahhaha! this is me right now in my choir class! so yes me too, im bisectional! ahahha!

[CanadianTuxedoBandit]

these =stuff people say= videos are awesome XD

Hi to all the ADGHC members watching this!

[phoenixsong8]

hahaha, my choral director referenced this today in choir. SO FUNNY.

[asyouwish141]

@phoenixsong8 Same here!

[mtkizzlefoshizzle]

im bisectional, me too :P

[showofas]

My choir rehearsals don't go like this...

[johnMusix]

Let her be the new choral Director! ...and all walked out :)

[connerjd]

I was in choir once. I forgot how damn annoying that it was.

[jm332056]

OMG this is fabulous! i was dying of laughter the whole time! Thanks for sharing (: 

[Carcmaspike]

In my choir, we're doing a piece by every composer mentioned. I feel accomplished.

[kaotik4266]

Having just gotten back from a two week intensive choir camp, this had me literally falling off my chair laughing. Not exaggerating even a little.

[HeidelbergSoprano]

I shared this with our high school choir and we were cracking up! :D haha

[InspiredByDance99]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[MsLunaLou]

My choir teacher told me to come watch this xD

[annaleejames]

thank you, Cantata Singers! for your great music and now so much laughter. Brilliant!

[organboi]

She shouldn't be allowed to just speak up like that in rehearsal. Isn't there only ONE music director? I get the joke, but it rings too false that she would be repeatedly allowed to do this, without the other members or director losing patience.

[officialY1p]

@organboi I'm in chorus,and alot of people say stuff like this,in fact this year,I heard,where does the s go? That sounds really weird,why are the basses so quiet? Basses louder! thats the soprano part! This is HIGH! (alot of the stuff wasn't mentioned in the video though)

[bhie11807]

Im Bi-Sectional too :))

[TheChoralChick]

MenDOLSon - Epic!! XD

[SHines01]

Does she play the viola when the choir is not rehearsing?

[giraffevlogger]

I feel special, I spent a week working with Eric Whitacre.. :D this is way accurate..

[saxyviolist]

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ONE FOR INSTRUMENTALISTS

[siriuslyawesome345]

ACCURATE! :D

[adamles89]

Tenors are NEVER flat. Long live the tenors!

[acousticsoul21]

They missed one!

"Which version of "Gloria In Excelcis Deo are we doing this year??"

[deanpeters1]

"This is your note ..." yeah, been around that putz.

And enough 'beefing' about the Basses -- we're AWESOME!

[Maggerz94]

What do you call two tenors singing together in unison? A minor second.

[stupidhatonthefloor3]

IS THIS A PHOTOCOPY?!?

[LookeAnthony]

What's the definition of a minor 2nd? Sopranos and Altos singing in unison =]

[classydancer84]

OMG!! This is so so true!!! I have been in choirs where you have people like this and they are usually wrong in some regard!!!! This is hilarious!!!

[ashleyalter1]

"I don't know anything about French Latin" and "I totally forgot to return this" -- YES!

[sprayberryjoy]

this is amazing, its SO true (of the annoying insecure singers, usually) lol. Great job guys!!!!!

[SephirothxAngel]

that kitty was an adorable fat kitty.just like mine and Calico

[wingsonwater]

Also, "I don't eat dairy. Or nuts. Or toast." Priceless.

[wingsonwater]

Pretty sure I've said 99% of these things. I totally never realized how annoying "I sang this in _________ choir" is until now. Going to have to watch out for that in the future!!

[prolificpancakes]

@wingsonwater You're definitely not alone. :D

[VanCantataSingers]

For some reason, rehearsal tonight was a little quieter than usual...

[maurikachu]

Every. Single. Day. In choir. This is spot on.

[morach1900]

* Mind if I turn off the ceiling fan? It's so loud!

* Don't those noisy lights bother you, too? (60 Hz - a flat Bb you know)

[AmandaPanda519]

lol "this is your note" !!! i love this video i hear like half those things every day!!! BAHAHA choir geeks rule!

[Mapman923]

They left one out: "I only solfege in 'fixed do' "

[cbbrown1218]

I've said every single one of those... except the comment about going for beers after the show, lol. Die hard chorus dork, right here!

[jamestzn111]

the guy's eyes nehind her at 0:13 OMG!!!

[RATLOVIN900]

lol choir memories coming back lol

[TheGrillionaires]

Brilliant whittling of subculture in 4 minutes - we all know this video could have been three hours long, with all the stuff that could be said about choristers!! Love love love!!!!

[berlande101]

excuse me, you're breathing in the wrong key

[ranhony]

is it a photocopy?????????? haha

[Voccetenore]

a little obnoxious yes, but she's still hot!

[bassrob2]

Folks, that was absolutely BRILLIANT. And I'm just going to try and ignore the fact that every composer you name dropped are among my favorite. Hahaha!

[davefank]

had me smiling (knowingly)! great stuff! Over here in germany a favourite is "Es zieht". ("There's a draft")

[prolificpancakes]

Guilty.

[DINOSRAWR7]

is this girl serious?

[patman828]

this is perfect

[uberfankster]

I never heard any of these in my rehearsals… but I agree: conductors ARE too precise.

[lauradavies1]

This is awesome!!!

[Fraga1ma]

That is the reason I would never be in a choir again.

[gerardyun]

Really funny! Brilliant! Required viewing for choristers. Thanks!

[blythesmile]

I literally was crying during this - so accurate and so dang funny. I am definitely at fault for some of these and have heard ALL of these on a daily basis at University! This video is the best.

[Rizzbotchimps]

What a babe!

Hotness

[SaraJeanQueen]

My favorite (that nobody's commented on) is "Oh, I sang this in my ___ choir." Everyone feels the need to broadcast it!!

[KateSara01]

Hahahaha! My official favorite video. That'll be me in 10 years!

[Wowzer33]

This girl was so wrong, Tenors are never flat.

[Archidi1996]

@Wowzer33 how do you know when a tenor is at the door, he doesnt know where to come in and he cant find the key lolol

[LadyWoodlark]

Brilliant! Now would somebody please get our leading lady her Ritalin?

[explodingpotato7]

lmfaoo

[hartleymartin]

I've heard a lot of these before... in my choir!

[themarisci]

i don't know shi*t about choristers but i can't stop laughing

[ThePianoNerd421]

i love this video. haha story of my life!

[Vartanian1976]

Убейте ее об стену ... я не могу слушать не знакомый язык!

[ArabellaWilmot]

@D0b0r0h he probably wants you to work on your passagio

[judokamg]

Tenors only say half of that :D Sopranos... yeah hahaha

[MadameAlto]

I have suffered with her prototype for YEARS. Shut up, already! :-) You totally got the choral experience down to a t!

[amistrymister]

the eric whitacre comment was so good!

[Woody615]

Ok, be honest: How many of you are guilty of at least one of these? (I'll raise my hand as I have been guilty of a couple of them.)

[ievolvedfrommonkeys]

LOL i didn't get any of the field related stuff but the bisexual one was good xD

[dickaude]

I literally couldn't watch this all the way through. Gag reflex, you know.

[tashybellgoesrawr]

This is hilarious!! And so so SO true...bahahahaha!

[lcossentino85]

Everything in this video is so sad, but true. If you've been in choir, then you know many of these are said.

[D0b0r0h]

My director said I should watch this ... I wonder why?

[bimba2021]

My choir just sang excerpts of Marc Antoine Charpentier's "Messe Nuit pour Noel" in [drumroll...]

FRENCH LATIN!!!!!

Hilarious video, well done!!

[KelseyLynnMusic]

bisectional omg golden

[minagalo969]

lmfao this is so funny

[UDbmas]

Beautiful... and painfully true!

[Gallahaut]

HAHA! 3:00 When she says "can I get a D?" She is singing a D right when she says D!

[StuffromyBrain]

God this is so accurate, and yet I really want to punch that girl in the face.

[whorace3]

She needs to work on her passagio, for one thing.



[grobangirl1990]

This is my choir class...

[reddupo]

lol this is too esoteric. it seems funny but I have no idea what the fuck is going on since I'm not a chorister

[joethemusician]

I love it... but its too long. break it up into episodes!

[Jfireprime]

Hey guys, what do you call a soprano who can sight read? An alto.

[ameliabedelia81995]

@Jfireprime I'm so offended. haha, but it's SO TRUE!!!!!!! 

[bassrob2]

@Jfireprime A 2nd soprano. :p

[ashavari]

@Jfireprime LOLLL THAT'S HORRIBLE

[Mapariensis]

@Jfireprime In our choir it's the other way round.

[bowmana614]

@fojeda1 1. the voice is an instrument. 2. it's because they don't understand vocal music. ignorance is bliss, isn't it?

[NatalieGelman]

So true! I hope I wasn't like this much in choir!!

[AliBanana1493]

haha this is so true, I miss being in choir.

[born2perform313]

omg bisectional?? so my lyfe. ded.

[loyolanurse15]

does anyone know the song in the credits?

[VanCantataSingers]

@loyolanurse15 That's "Prometheus" by Kristopher Fulton! There is a link above if you want to check it out on iTunes. ;)

[ChorusGirlVT]

"Eric Whitacre...I heard about him, like, WAY before he was popular." <--- This is my life.

[MountainPeak11]

SO. FUCKING. TRUE. I hate it when people are like "Where does the 's' go?" "Is it "thee" or "the?" "Is it Italian or Germanic Latin?" "I'm hearing a lot of inconsistencies..." Drives me INSANE. D:<

[Callypso73]

I think the funniest part was the mention of Eric Whitaker. The choir I'm in sang one of his pieces last semester.
