Golden Rules for Ensemble Singing (Insider Jokes)
  • Everyone should sing the same piece.
  • Do not worry if you do not have perfect pitch - you may find singing  less stressful without it!
  • The right note at the wrong time is the wrong note.
  • The wrong note at the right time is still a wrong note.
  • A wrong note sung with authority is an interpretation.
  • A true interpretation is realized when not one note of the original  remains.
  • If you happen to sing a wrong note, give a nasty look to one of your  neighbors.If everyone gets lost except you, follow those who get lost.
  • If you are completely lost, stop everyone and start an argument  about repeat marks.
  • Strive to achieve the maximum notes per second - that way you at  least gain the admiration of the totally incompetent.
  • If a passage is difficult, slow it down. If it is easy, speed it up.  Everything will work itself out in the end.
  • Markings for slurs, dynamics, ornaments and breathing should be  ignored. They are only there to embellish the score.
  • When everyone else has finished singing, you should not sing any  notes you may still have left.
