Chapter 4 Period 2: Chorus
or
"Sing Out Loud, Sing Out Strong"
or
"Drivin' a Truck, Drivin' a Big Old Truck." (don't ask, if you don't know the song, don't ask)
Singing he thought to himself, all elves love singing. This should be fun. Of course he forgot one minor detail, males, no matter what species, sing lower than women do. He arrived and took a seat next to a dark haired young lady. The teacher, who introduced herself as Mrs. McGrath, asked them to sing a pitch. She cued the piano and they all sang. The dark-haired lady turned to him and said, "you're off-pitch." The teacher asked a few girls, himself included, to come up to the piano. She played G-3 (a low note) and asked them to sing accordingly. 'Agnes' could sing the note, nobody else followed suit. He immediately began to panic; obviously women did not sing that low.
Before he could die from embarrassment or confess his deceit, the teacher spoke, "Wow! That was impressive. It has been a long, long time since I taught a female bass." She began to chatter excitedly, "Oh we can have so many new songs with a bass. You can have all the male solos in our songs. This is so exciting." After that, he began to ignore her. She allowed him to return to his seat and returned to rustling her papers.
The girl that told him that he was off-pitch introduced herself, "Hello I am Danielle. What kind of music do you like?" Since he had no idea what kind of music was played here, he decided to answer, "any kind." BIG MISTAKE. She immediately launched into a discussion on Billy Idol's music. He continued to nod occasionally. After a while, he realized that she was asking him a question. "Well, did you meet them?" she asked. He decided that since nodding had been so effective, he would continue the trend. "You must be in their Chemistry class. I'll pray for you" she told him. He immediately knew whom she was talking about.
"They set my sleeve on fire."
"That's truly impressive. They got you on your first day. That must be a record." Changing the subject, she asked, "Why don't you sit with my friends and me at lunch?"
She gave him a secretive smile and waited for his response. He hesitantly answered yes. She told him where they would be sitting and waved goodbye as the bell rang. Chorus was over for the day.
