yo, i'm tenor-offical. proud to be a choir kid and semi-proud of belonging to what may be the worst section of choir.
i use they/he pronouns and i'm agender.
you should totally send me choir song recommendations... preferably in satb. at some point i might drop a list of all the choir songs i've sung
profile picture is a half rest (i like it because it looks like a hat). header is a sheet music staff with the bass clef.
below the cut: what is a tenor?
what is a tenor? out of the four main voice parts (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), tenors and basses make up the lower voices. tenor is the higher of the two. our lowest note is typically around B2 (although my choir almost never has tenors sing below D3), while our highest is around G4. why do i say tenors may be the worst section? from my experience, tenor is just notoriously the worst of the four sections. there's a lot of tone deaf people, and a good amount of people who are actually basses and keep singing everything down an octave. there's also way too many people who never know what they're meant to be singing. i imagine this is not the case in a professional choir.

la la la? is that a la la la la la la la reference?
(like orpheus from hadestown)
@potasium-offical
thanks for the clarification because i would NOT have understood what you were referencing without it
no its actually a reference to a video from five years ago of my high school's baritone a capella group where they sang Leave the Door Open and sang "la la la" really badly. actually the whole song was kind of bad but don't tell them i said that
but no one here's going to understand the reference so hadestown is an acceptable interpretation of it
rb with your name, orientations and gender, preferred pronouns, optionally some struggles or joy being LGBTQ has brought you, and some comfort/affirmations or whatever for the person before and after you!!!! why is this so detailed bruh. and tag peeps ig??
Hai! I'm Nyxon
I am transgender FTM, asexual, and omniromantic!
My preferred pronouns are he/they!
Being LGBTQ makes me happy. Despite being cloested, it makes me feel like what I am actually makes sense and I'm not just some weird ahh guy. I used to be a girl who was angry a lot of the time for no reason, which is ironic ngl
I am [sexuality has not been unlocked], asexual, and nonbinary!
My preferred pronouns are They/Them. :)
I have a bunch of friends in the LGBTQ+ society...*stares*
Person before me: *deep breath* GET GENDER-AFFIRMED NYXON! HOW HE/HIM OF YOU! THEIR SO AWESOME GUYS LOOK HE/THEY HE/THEY HE/THEY BOY BOY BOY! AHHH THEY ARE SO ACCEPTED AND SCRUMPTIOUS WOWZA! EVERYONE LOVES THEM THEM THEM RIGHT???? (I am. So sorry if this is overboard. ^^' You can burn me at the stake if you want.)
Person after me: You're so cool and amazing and I think you deserve everything you put your little LGBTQ+ friendly heart to. :)
Happy pride month everyone! Have a very safe month because I am going to run over all the homophobe-shaped speed bumps as a treat! :3c
@sacabambaspis-offical @ashelf66 @confused-cookie-blog @toaster-waffle-offical @bacone-official @britishtea-again @unlabelled-offical @genderqueer-offical + anyone else who wants to join! Yay! This was fun! ^^
hey, i'm genderqueer. (no real name yet... so nicknames are very welcome)
i am genderfluid, aegosexual, and abroromantic!
[id: i am genderfluid, aegosexual, and abroromantic!]
my preferred pronouns depend on the day or situation... but i use she/her and he/him separately, or sometimes interchangeably. currently i think i'm going by he/him right now...
being queer is a very mixed experience for me. romantically, i absolutely love that i am able to feel attraction towards the beauty of every gender (albeit, sometimes at different times), however, for sexual and gender orientations, it can make me quite frustrated. because i'm afab, my gender dysphoria can be insane when i'd rather be male, which makes it irritatingly hard to be alone with my thoughts. secondly, the only reason i'm aegosexual (asexual) is due to the fact that i am not amab. when i'm feeling more male, i have a tendency to fantasize (not going to say it explicitly, but you know what i mean) and have it immediately tamped down because i don't have an amab body. it can get really fucking annoying.
person before me: hey pen, thanks for tagging me! you seem really cool and i'm very grateful that you're running over all the negativity :) have a safe and happy pride month!
person after me: though i haven't read your post, all of you experiences are valid. if you aren't already, you are going to be okay, things are going to work out, and everything you've done will very soon pay off. thank you so much for reblogging this post and sharing part of your life with us! have an absolutely gorgeous day, and an even better pride month <3
i'm choir, not sure i really have any other names here yet ^^
i am non-binary, asexual and panromantic!
my preferred pronouns are they/them
being queer is important to me. there are so many labels that you can find and sure it may take a while before you find the right one, but the community is so accepting most of the time. i feel like i have a chance to be free in my identity, even if i'm closeted to my family and even though i struggle every day with nearly being outed.
person before me: thank you for tagging me, genderqueer!! i've always admired genderfluid people - even if you don't really choose how you feel and when, i've always gotten the kindest vibes from you. i think you're strong and brave in sharing about your identity and the reasons for your sexuality, a lot of people would never share that. have a fantastic day + pride month!
person after me: thank you for reblogging! you are loved, you are worth it, you are allowed to be whoever you want to be. nobody else can stop you from being whoever you are, even if it's just for yourself. happy pride month everyone!
i'm trans agender, aroace, and experience alterous attraction. my pronouns are they/he etc.
i'm very lucky to be surrounded by people for who the most part accept me for who i am. i know not all queer people get that so i try to be grateful every day. i love being trans, i love being genderqueer, i love loving my friends without romance, i love being part of such a large community of loving people. i'm proud to be who i am and i think over the years i've become a lot more accepting of myself and more eager to be loudly who i am
to choir: thanks for the tag! it's great to know another enby ace person, and obviously the actual choir thing is a huge plus for me. i haven't known you for very long but i think you're great and i wish you nothing but happiness. happy pride month!!!
to the person after me: somedays life is going to be hard, but i'm rooting for you! if you're happy with who you are now, i'm happy for you. and if you're still working on acceptance, i'm here to say that you are valid for who you are. love you!
@whatifiwasmadeofbones @drumsticks-offical + open tags! i don't know that many people to tag since i'm a very new blog
so at my theater i'm part of our production of chicago the musical. and. so much stuff happened in the shows that i have to write about it.
first show:
the stage freaking breaks five minutes before the house opens. our head of set is nowhere to be found. we nearly send a thirteen-year-old techie under the stage to fix it. head of set appears. turns out the leg that was holding up that section of the stage was never properly drilled in in the first place, meaning we've all been dancing for years on a badly constructed stage where it could've fallen out from under us at any moment
second show:
velma forgets about one of her scenes and is on the wrong side of the stage. a good 10 seconds of silence as the other actors wait for her. a whispered FUCK is picked up by the mics and broadcasted through our speakers, followed by heavy breathing as velma sprints down the hallway to get to the other side of the stage (because we don't have a backstage) tech cuts her mic after about five really awkward seconds
we mess up the finale song, as in no one comes in and the band moved on without us, so we had to jump back in midsong. we were roughly wrong together though so at least that's alright
i personally trip three times throughout the performance. once because our head of set fixed the previously broken stage too well, so that the wooden plank now is slightly elevated above the rest of the stage. i'm not used to it and i trip over it while in spotlight. i trip again when my foot gets caught on the curtain during my entrance. and in one scene i have to come through the house doors and walk through the audience, and my 6 foot tall friend has his long as hell legs spread out all the way in front of him so i trip over that too
third show:
billy flynn addresses the jury. the jury is the pit band. during his speech, the band members pull out tissues and start wiping away tears. apparently they had collectively agreed to do this sometime between the second and third shows and not a single actor was made aware of the plan. billy flynn completely loses it and laughs through the rest of his speech while the rest of the ensemble tries to stay in character
we are all prepared for the band to pull out tissues. we are NOT prepared for them to pull out the largest, most colorful handkerchiefs in existence. the conductor pulls out a huge canadian flag from her sleeve and wipes her tears on them. one of the saxophone players just keeps pulling out what mustve been a mile long handkerchief from his pocket. second saxophone player pulls one out of her instrument. someone audibly blows their nose mid-speech. to add to the chaos, billy flynn (who by the way was STILL dying of laughter) pulls out a hundred-dollar bill to wipe his own tears with.
the band says they have even more prepared for today's show. and im a little afraid
we all await in anticipation to see what hell the band pulls off today. at first i think it's tissues. no. its toilet paper. they have rolls of toilet paper that they unroll and pass down from member to member. billy flynn managed to keep it together at least a bit better
not a bad thing but our mary sunshine improvised an amazing opera high note during a little bit of good and all of our jaws DROPPED it was the best thing i heard all day

I was talking to her about being in choir class, about how I used to be an alto but now I'm a tenor (I haven't rly voice trained. My singing voice is just naturally deep enough to be a tenor) and mentioned to her that my vocal range has become very compressed recently, and she was like "maybe it was because of your voice changing with puberty" and I didn't even correct her in the moment I was just like. What. Huh. Girl. Girl I think you forgor. I think you forgor something about me. That I didn't have a testosterone puberty. Makes me giggle thinking about it. Also means she probably always saw me a guy from the beginning with is !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
If you could be any sort of undead, like a ghost, vampire, zombie, etc, what would you choose? I'm very curious to see what people will say, hence the tag game to make it spread a bit further!
Obviously I'm satisfied with being a ghost, but I would be a vampire if given the chance!
hmm that's a good question. i guess it really depends on what kind of interpretation you're going off of for each... butttt, i'm not gna go all into it.
at first glance, probably a zombie. the generalized vision of zombies is all they do is walk around and eat people for their brains... seems pretty relatable.
i, too, have the urge to obliterate the people around me for being much smarter than i am.
i was originally gonna say vampire for the fangs but no i think ghost for sure. my friend and i have already agreed to haunt one another depending on who dies first so obviously ghost.
i had a music performance today and while i was sitting in the audience listening to other groups perform the person behind me started snoring. mind you they were not performing and the show was meant to be primarily for the performers; there wasn’t an audience besides the other people performing in other groups. so this guy had no need to be here.
a choral director told him he wasnt supposed to be there. and he and his friends BEGGED to stay.
uh hello? you guys were sleeping and snoring through the performance and now you want to stay? you don’t care at all about the performance and you just wanted to get out of class. get the hell out of the performance hall

Fun tag game idea: say something that most of your followers wouldn’t actually know
I’ll start first: I am actually married. Irl. I have a husband. I know it’s surprising considering the Tumblr spouses, but my husband thinks it’s funny.
One of my ear canals are notably smaller than the other. It makes it harder to clean, and it kinds hurts sometimes, but otherwise it has no effect on my life and I didnt even realize until a few months ago.
I unironically thought undertale took place in hell. I didn't figure that out until at least four years of knowing the game existed, when a friend was speaking about the game and I mentioned that. As it turns out, "the underground" is in fact, just a place underground.
When I was 13 I used to go to the master bedroom and hide my parents' lube. I didn't steal it for myself or anything, I just threw them behind their dresser because I really hated the possibility of getting another sibling and that was the best way I could think of preventing that.
@simplystarrysky @mrblackhaironthestreet + open tags (i didn't realize that's something people specify? i always assume open tags)
that last one is incredibly funny! I'll follow your format lol
three random facts:
1) i once stole a weed-related product from right behind an empoyees back and i had to go in my tiptoes to reach over a transparent plastic divider to get it. i have never been caught and that might be my riskiest sticky-fingered stunt yet. i keep a mental catalogue of surveillance in stores, on streets, etc. oh and for some reason i tend to sneak up on people unnoticed even though I don't mean to and it seems crazy sometimes -- like I'll be in steel-toed boots and embodying a large sillhouette and regardless only be noticed when I'm within like 3 feet of someone. this is of course an incredibly funny nature to employ for sibling-scaring purposes and trickery.
2) i have known my partner since we were 6 years old, longer than I've known my own sibling. she has seen the absolute worst of me and the best. she has helped me survive innumerable times. and though we have our problems, i am so lucky and glad to have her in my life. she is the only person who can make me laugh with little effort. being in her company makes me feel at home no matter where we are or what we're doing.
3) i have managed to gain around 20lbs give or take within approximately 3 months (though i suspect i am losing some of the weight unfortunately due to stress and the other factors that make it difficult for me to eat properly... I'm hoping I'll correct course on that by mid-July and am looking to gain another 5-10 lbs from my starting weight along with the existing 20lbs i may have lost some of. also my new brand of protein powder is total garbage and i will never get it again, I'm going to go back to the one i liked before hopefully even if it's on the pricier side)
2. I planned the murder of a girl who hurt my bestie when I was in 1st grade with said bestie, we even thought about how to get rid of the evidence {cut the corpse up, burn it in the shady ass peice of land near our houses and launch the remains in a homemade firework}
3. I like to make things that remind me of my friends but I'm usually too scared to show it to them ;-;
1.) uh last year i was the global eighth (between fifth and tenth anyway since its hard to judge skill) best player of a game (between 50-60k players at the time)
2.) i accumulate various things that i love inexplicably and they currently include a sloth plushie, a turtle on a necklace, a ring that is plain metal with black flame on the sides (its also like seven or eight years old) a green hoodie/jacket and several other knicknacks
3.) idk im not v interesting but ig i very much like physical affection? or I am actually pretty good at archery?

for satb, some really cool ones i’ve done in chamber choir recently are esto les digo by kinley lange and holy lord of hosts by irina aleksiychuk!
(i’m a soprano but hopefully will be a tenor someday)
ooh esto les digo sounds really interesting, there were some really nice harmonies in it :O my choir teacher has this weird tendency to pick songs in languages that somehow no one in the choir speaks or understands but several people know spanish so it would be fun to finally do a foreign language that at least we can translate and pronounce correctly
and holy lord of hosts is just like wow it sounds so awesome!! the soprano part especially is really beautiful like all the way through, i would have so much fun if i was singing that part
(also YOU GOT THIS I BELIEVE IN YOU YOU CAN BE A TENOR!!!! at least in my choir tenors with higher ranges are really valued because the songs sometimes go ridiculously high for a low range T-T sometimes i believe the composers hate us because it seems like our harmonies are either really high or really low and never comfortably in the middle)
yes !! both of these were really nice because in our choir we have one fluent spanish speaker and two fluent ukranian speakers so we had lots of help for the words
speaking as s1, can confirm it’s a great part yeah! the song is really crunchy so it’s nice to have the melodic line lmao
(see some songs i can sing the tenor part but we have so few tenors and basses that they often combine into the same baritone part which is usually out of my range T-T)
huh that’s really interesting! again it’s the opposite of us, we often move altos to the tenor part.
yours is a show choir though, so obviously there would be differences between it and a chamber or concert choir
