I know not everyone knows everybody else in a group...but sometimes when absolutely legendary people show up..who are so good..I think if you really love the music you should drop the take turns routine and just let them shine..they will know songs that others can sing choruses of..or teach them new ones...I have seen this so much...when people I am dying to hear and who have such songs to sing are subjected to this...and I have said this before..they get in little clusters and find another room or building or whatever and they sneak out. now if they would only tell me where they go..

And I think my biggest peeve is when it is not an official anything..especially the late night music at the music camps. I would say if you are beginner there keep the books away and follow the lead of the truly great singers. I don't think anyone has to try to improve themselves at all..they can be choruses, or just enjoy the beautiful music, but I also don't think they should break the flow of the music.
