A few quotes from my rather insane Choral Conductor...
"You know what my hell is? My pergatory? "Kumbaya", on a loop."
"I'm hearing a great voice here, and there, - if you're not one of the better ones, can you just...get better?"
"Its not that I think I'm so much better than all of the other conductors, ... its just that everyone else is so bad"
"This is not Ronald McDonald college...its a conservatory!!"
"You could park a truck in that wobble…a HUMMER could fit in that wobble"
"Genius is having a high capacity for details"
"...potaaaaatoes, in siberiaaaaa...."
"Check the wobble at the door...and forget to pick it up on your way out."
"Its like taking a razor blade to the Mona Lisa"
"My GOD! I could get a german shepherd to sing the Haydn mass - I shouldnt need burger bits to conduct a choir."
"Its not like the audience is going to say 'Im getting excited because its a stretta!!' "
"Did you ever think that there is some relationship with the music, and what I'm doing with my hands?"
*After someone apologizing for messing up - "Dont be sorry, be right"
"You think that I have some magical fairy dust that I can just *sprinkle a little on the sopranos, and sprinkle a little on the tenors* for you to just sound amazing... well I have news for you... TINKERBELL AND I BROKE UP! She was just too dull..."
"I'm up here looking like a 'flailing porpoise cheerleader' "
"Apathy is the vomit of the gods!"
"Excellence is a habit"
"Altos, you are not playing Brunhilda. Please put down the spear and shield."
"GET ME WET!"
"Tenors, you sound like you threw up in your milk shake"
"You don’t take Jesus to a karaoke bar"
"Basses, you need to put out more"
"This isn’t some kind of Nazi youth rally"
"Stay expensive! You’re going from Neman Marcus to Kmart!"
"You sound like a bunch of yapping Nazis"
"If you get into dreamland, you’re going to be pretty on the wrong bar"
"Sopranos, a nice yellow, Altos, a nice…something. I’m color blind"
"It sounds like a vat of cool whip"
See? I really do like Choir. It just gets to you sometimes... I think 6 hours of him a week would do that to anyone. Haha
