Nerdy Alto @nerdyalto.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Revels rehearsals are underway. I did not get either of the solos I auditioned for (boo) although I am featured in an ensemble piece (yay). There is one more ensemble to audition for, which has barbershop style close harmony. Do I try for Tenor 1, Tenor 2, or Baritone? (the bass is too low) 020
Nerdy Alto @nerdyalto.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Not sure whether to be grossly offended by this, or laugh uproariously at the typical lack of understanding of human nature this genre of statement displays. Because I saw it during a break from a choral rehearsal… 120
