<< I just decided to stop singing chorus gigs -- at least regular ones, I'll still do pick-up work. My back doesn't want to stand on the risers, my shoulders don't like holding the folders, and at least in some circumstances, I wind up feeling vocally constipated. >>
I gave up on choral singing long ago--it was bad for my technique! I got tired of being crammed in with a million other people--with no space to spread out and BREATHE! My shoulders and elbows were scrunched, and there was not even room to stand with feet apart. And then they expect us to sing well....
Still I'd love to be part of a really good quartet or small ensemble.
Sigh!
