Let me tell us something about church
choir. Please don't laugh.
The first time I joined choir was in
1998, and since that year I've all my church life been doing stuffs with
choirs; singing, directing or playing the piano. You see church choir? It's one
of the most interesting place to be in church. There you see all manners of
people and behaviours.
1. There is this set of guys they
call "instrumentalists" lol. Those ones? If they ever come for
rehearsals on time, then something is wrong. They are always late, and in most
cases the choir director can't sanction them.
2. Choir Director: The choir director always have a set
of favorite singers in the choir and someone whom he/she always give the lead
role in a song. And some people in the choir will always 'beef' that person,
especially those who can't sing well.
3. In some cases, the most committed
set of people in the choir are those who can't sing, and you just can't drive
them away. They are very punctual and committed, both in attendance and in
spoiling songs.
4. In some cases, the singers with
very high level of pride are in soprano, while the most stubborn ones are in
alto.
5. In every choir, there must be a
certain badt-guy brother and sister who usually do some exclusive rehearsals in
the closet somewhere, but in the choir you can never suspect them. You can even
swear that they have never met each other before.
6. Some female singers actually
joined the choir either because they love the uniform or they believe that's
where their husband will find them, or they just want to stand on the
microphone let the church see them.
7. The choir at some point during
rehearsals will behave as if they are so tired and they want the director to
close, but immediately the director stops teaching songs everybody starts
'gisting'.
8. There is always a "minor
factor" in the choir: a certain Chorister who specialises in spoiling
songs. The only way to spot this person is to ask them to sing one after the
other. If the person is a tenor singer and he's a smart guy, he'll want to go
out and ease himself that very time.
9. If the choir is in the city of Uyo
and hosts a concert, the rehearsals will be really interesting but on the
concert day sound is always bad (sounds engineers please forgive me).
10. Even if the whole church falls
under anointing, the "instrumentalists" standeth firm on the solid
rock. They can never fall under anointing. E no fit happen.
In
all of these, God is gracious, and Jesus won't stop loving choristers#Jazzville
