Hold up your end of the Game, please!

So. . .it happened again.
Please tell me why this happens. When you have a passage that is wordy, full of twists and turns, odd rhythms, and difficulties - why is it that men cannot do that?
Are they not constructed physically to actually walk, chew gum, memorize, and sing well all at the same time?
And for pities sake - if you have a coveted berth in a Chamber Chorus seat - for which they all hate us anyway - hold up your end of the bargain. With the seat come the responsibilities and the obligations. Yes, its what you signed up for. Rise to the occasion. Find a friend. Study your music. The rest of us are depending on you. It is not an independent action as in, "Oh, I don't know my part but everyone else probably will." WRONG! If you don't know your part it throws me off my part - which I know by the way - but which I cannot sing with a totally wrong note in my ear.

This is not an exercise in lackadaisicality! This is great music that deserves great effort. Frankly, at this point, I'm just embarrassed to be associated with them.

I just don't get it. I just don't get it. If you are going to do a half assed job - please, sing with another chorus. . .soon. .like day after tomorrow. . I can get you an audition!!!!!!!
