I'm a 2nd bass, but they've got me singing tenor.

2. I'm a contrabass (oktavist)
but I have sung baritone on occassion, and can sing a presentable countertenor. One of my voice teacher's students is a baritone who can also sing countertenor. We have plans to sing two duets at the studio recital sometime: The "Don Giovanni goes to hell" duet, followed by "The trumpets shall sound" duet by, ummm, is it purcell? Should weird the audience out totally.

3. I end up singing counter-tenor (alto) at church
when the altos don't show up. The congregation is used to it by now.

4. First soprano here
We wouldn't sit anywhere near each other in the choir! I'm one of the "shriekers."

5. Second soprano here
Boy, was I ever glad to be in the second soprano section when my choir did the Bach B Minor Mass in March. Those poor firsts seemed to spend all their time doing sixteenth-note runs above the treble clef. :-)
