    …you drive hundreds of miles in one day to hear a favorite choir perform… then turn around and drive home ’cause you’re a poor college student and can’t afford a night’s stay anywhere!

    You’re familiar with the formal structure of the Brahms Requiem, but can still remember the hand motions to “The Rhythm of Life”.

    …you have 15 different recordings of “Messiah” and listen to them regularly,depending on the month of the year or your mood.  This does not include the 6 or 7 recordings of “best of” or “selections from” you have just because.  Your family knows to give you a wide berth when you put on the Mozart orchestrated LP version you bought in high school–things must be bad.
     
    …you have a work related allergy from being exposed to poinsettas in choir lofts for 25+ years.

    …….you get three teddybears, wearing choir robes  clutching hymnbooks as gifts from your In-Laws!
