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.
