Your Internal Monologue, Answered
Do I need to be able to sing to join?
Yes. It is significantly helpful.
How often do you rehearse?
Once a week – anything more would look suspiciously like effort.
What happens if I miss a rehearsal?
A small piece of the Director’s soul withers away. Also, you’ll spend the next session looking like a confused tourist in your own sheet music. It’s a lose-lose situation, really.
How much rehearsing is actually required?
Enough so that we don’t sound like a group of people arguing in a tunnel.
Do I need to read music, or can I just stare intensely at the paper?
Reading music is a plus. However, we have found that moving your eyes from left to right at a consistent speed while nodding thoughtfully fools approximately 84.3% of the audience.
Am I required to look at the conductor?
Optional – in the same way brakes are optional on a bicycle.
What is your stance on vocal harmony?
We are in favor of it.
What if I’m only "Mostly" pitch perfect?
That’s why we have microphones and a very talented sound technician. Our philosophy is: if you can’t be right, be loud. (Actually, please don’t do that. Mikael is sensitive.)
What is the dress code for performances?
As long as you don’t look like you’re heading to a lawnmower convention, we’re good.
Is this a cult?
No. Cults have better funding and much more consistent choreography.
