Subject: My turn


I didn't wanna post anything about this because you all might just think I'm being bitchy again. But then I figured, what the hell do I care what you think? If you can be a bitch, I can be one too.

Okay, this has happened a lot in the past, and it has dwindled since then, but now it seems to have returned and I wish it hadn't. I've been noticing the sudden surge of...I don't even know what you call it.

There has always been some "competition" if you will, in the choir among sections and what not. When one section gets their part down quickly with no problem, and another section doesn't, automatically it's "Ha, see the bass are better than you! We're good!" (Just as an example.) "It's always the tenors" or "It's always the altos," and I admit, a lot of times it's like that. Some people just need more help than others. But I never liked that whole "we're better than you" talk. If you're sitting there thinking, "Who do you think you are," who the hell do you think you are? Funny ha ha, to an extent, but that just makes me want to get up and leave and say, "To hell with you." Or, "Shut up, you have problems too." Maybe that's just me, but I'm giving you my perspective, so write your own post. I know it's cool when you get your part down like nothing. Kudos for you. But we're not all "great and wonderful", so we have to work on it. Everybody does. That's why we're there - to practice. And I know, sometimes it's good to have a little friendly competition so people will try to work harder or something, but sometimes it's not at all friendly, and people can also turn the other way and say, "Forget you" OR it can be so competitive that everyone just ends up shouting and "blaring". Who likes it when people get obnoxious and think they're right all the time when you know and they know they're not? To avoid any confusion, I say, the other alternative is to be supportive. Encourage. It could help a lot. "You can do it." And you can. We're all diverse people and sometimes we can get a little difficult and need to be put in our place, but if we're all here for the same reason...

You are my hands
You are my voice
You are my presence in this world
If you will learn, if you will see
HUMBLE YOURSELF AND FOLLOW ME.
