THE LATENESS

STREET RHYTHMS

*THE LATENESS*

While some choristers are doing well, others are always guilt of lateness.

While the lateness of some choristers many be genuine, others may only give the usual 'GMT' excuse.

As musicians, lateness shouldn't be part of our 'elements'. When we intentionally practice lateness to rehearsals, it will be transferred to church services, to external programmes, and to our major programmes.

When we are late to somebody's programme, some find it normal but they find it abnormal if somebody attends their programme late.

Here are some few reasons you must attend rehearsals and programmes early as a chorister.

You must arrive early enough to rest before performing.

You must arrive early to participate in some stage works.

There will also be a proper sound-checks if your arrive early. If the engineer sets his sound to the tune of 20 choristers who arrived earlier, any additional sound after that may only 'destroy' things.

When your programmes begin late because of your own ignorance, you send only one message to your audience.

THE RIGHT PLACE OF THE CHOIR

 INTRODUCTION: Many Christians are well used to having a choir sing in their church services and today, the singing of a choir has been a fixture of the worship in many churches; this is understandable as choirs feature in the Bible’s own description of divine worship. Their singing complements the spoken word of God that is given by the clergy. The role of the clergy is widely known; what about the role of the church choir; and where can they be positioned in the church to play their role very well? All churches have designated sitting places for their choirs in the temple; but which part of the temple should be the best place for the choir in other to perform their role very effectively? This is the problem that was examined.

MISMATCH OF MUSIC

STREET RHYTHMS 06-02-2017 *MISMATCH OF MUSIC* Many a times, choirs sing the 'nice music' at occasions and you (if you really understand music) will realize that the song, though nice, has nothing to relate to with the occasion. One possible cause is that some choir leaders don't find the meanings of song text (especially, in languages they don't understand) before teaching them.

ROBING AND DISROBING IN PUBLIC

Most of our choirs use choir robes as their uniform for every divine or full service. These robes are either sewn in the American robe style (the academic gown/single gown style) or the British robe style (the cassock & surplice style). Some choristers are always found robing and disrobing outside the vestry; this practice is not good.
