oh yeah also have to shout out the young queer theatre-enjoyer (as doer or audience) with christian parent experience of "at least i can be in the choir & be one of like 2-4 tenors & enjoy singing harmonies & most of practice is just chilling b/c it's 95% playing the melody 50x for the twenty sopranos who still don't have it down" while also not having to deal with sitting in the midst of the pews or whatever

#an annoyance was the battle b/c [i'd want to sing louder anyways] & on the one hand kind of subsuming the Bass part b/c there were like #four or six of them & that was kind of a writeoff like they'll just be kind of singing whatever lol #on the other hand after the sopranos had sorta learned the melody line after 65 min the like two dozen of them also could be too readily #drowned out by a few tenors harmonizing. like that sounds like yet another them problem....#like i'm not singing loud loud Loud like whatever soprano would show up at the basilica in dc on xmas & treat it as a concert solo but.#like; i'm gonna be singing; okay #meanwhile moments in Nonbinary But Not Out Yet when my incredible irritation at the authoritative prescriptive comments lol like #i'm telling my roommate who asked I'm A Tenor. they're going wellll tenors have to be boys so.#like well either this is about vocal range or it isn't and already i'm like No Gender Binary even when it's [vocals] edition #serendipitously for kitchen karaoke singalongs (rarer recently w/no aux capabilities...) in essence i have will roland's range lol #ofc i can't sing like That & he's probably got like more comfortably a half step lower; but i can get on that half step sometimes lol #the way ewm son of a gun is too low for me & will roland's is not; moved it up a key or so for him then lol #[handshake] tenors higher than that. and in maybe having a just barely higher range: then; what; singing along with george salazar?#there is a pattern here....suddenly the range of Altos if they just so happened to not be understood as men #also [choir with the benedictine nuns] >>>>> [choir at the more nearby church]#but strictly the Mass at the monastery....only maybe quicker for being a little smaller #more tragically; further away meant an earlier wakeup. bad. but all other instances of hanging w/the nuns chill to fun #also the like [could you not go concert mode here] basilica reverb xmas dc soprano lol it's always like #this podcast talking abt like ''& then the amazing professional dancers in this show would go to the club & be putting on their amazing #dance performances just out there for any randos to see. how amazing'' like people can be impressed with the dancing in a show when they #have chosen to go to the show with the dancing; they didn't go out to a club to stand around watching anyone's pro performance & like what.#should they also all stop & clap in recognition lmao Like. too akin to [guy at party pulls out guitar] even if you're an amazing guitarist #This Is Not The Occasion; Others Didn't Sign On....ofc there's plenty of room for flexibility / spontaneity / ppl totally ready to enjoy #any such event dropped into their laps even if it's not part of their plans....but like. doing your own thing vs requiring everyone else #now Have to be an audience. guy at party who pulls out [i have to loudly insistently say things i want Everyone to laugh at. so that i win]#like i'm not judging the peons who didn't all stop their clubbing to gather round & acknowledge your superior; transcendent clubbing
