15 Choir Fails

Me, trying to sing

Way back .. at Uof O, I met this guy who persuaded me to sing Christmas carols... in public... whaaaa?

This post is all about me. A listicle of choir fails -- enjoy!

11. Write blog posts you think are funny instead of practicing that difficult Spanish thing, uh, piece.

Don't ask

10. Flirt with the cute Tenor beside you and miss your entry... and your note... and what carol you're singing...

Brian, Pete and Morgan do the heavy lifting

8. Bug choir members for new photos for the blog.

Not Josee's best side
