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?

TWSBI 580 EF Monboddos Hat

It looks very dark in the picture, but it is purple ink. First time inking this pen with its new EF nib. My TWSBI 580 is kind of my experimental pen where I try different things. My theory is that it is good enough that I can enjoy using it but not so expensive that I can't try things like different nibs and inks and taking it with me to Starbucks and on trips. Anyway, today is first try of the EF nib and just filled with new color ink. I was smart this time and didn't fully fill it with the syringe, so it didn't overflow and get ink everywhere. The paper is Tomoe River, the current version from JetPens.
