I was one of 3 girls in the tenor section (two of us had red hair!). There were no boys in the tenor section.<BR/><BR/>Even in 1978, the boys had come to the wacky conclusion that unless you were in a garage band, singing high in your range was an indication that you were less than masculine. <BR/><BR/>And so, even if some of them could sing below D in the bass clef, they were still, all of them, in the baritone section.<BR/><BR/>Heck, I could hit notes lower than some of them, and this was before I had received any training... <BR/><BR/>Concerts were a real hoot.<BR/><BR/>The one kid who was a real baritone still sings and directs his church choir in Ohio. we found each other on facebook and it has been fun catching up, in this, our 30th class reunion year...qoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687807550095367481noreply@blogger.com
