There are three types:
The choir geek: They are very
interested in music. They may have good voices, but their primary talent is actually enjoying sight-reading. They have a passion. They enjoy it above
everything else. They may major later on.
The ch. nerd: The sole purpose of his membership is that he can't fit in with anyone else. He acts
like a little kid, may run around in practice, and make stupid jokes that a non-ch. kid would have bullied him for.
The plain ch. kid: Doesn't want to be too involved (see example for more info.)
Do not confuse thechoir geek with the nerd.
Typical choir geek joke: A: what is the name of that funeral song? B: what? A: This one (hums tune) B: That's an aria. how can an aria be a funeral song?
Choir nerd jokes, on the other hand, are usually in some way related to
excrement, if not, are just plain stupid.
The first two types both use choir as an outlet, as a social group, that all
your friends are a part of. However, the plain ch. kid is smart, in that he realizes that choir is a CLASS. He takes it because it is the most
interesting Elective (not group), but is either in sports, or simply thinks that the others are too weird, which they are.
