Asked not to sing while visiting rehearsal
I was at a rehearsal for a chorus, and I was asked not to sing. I was standing for 2 and a half hours holding my music but not singing and feeling like an idiot. It was my fourth visit, and the bass section had gotten together earlier to rehearse some new music so maybe they didn't want me mucking up the notes trying to sing along with the whole chorus. But the director said up front that he expected the other visitors to sing along and make mistakes. Maybe I'm singing badly and loudly I don't know. It's been a long time since I have sung in any group and almost 40 years since I've sung barbershop so I'm a little rusty. But I get complements at church from people standing in front of my while singing. I don't know. I enjoy singing. I just feel uncomfortable going back to that group. Am I crazy?
