Wow-- that's just stupid. If he can sing it, who cares if he's a guy?
A most ingenious paradox.

The fact that he can probably sing a sopranist's song better than I could -____-;
But honestly, this is ridiculous.

Professional choirs use countertenors, but I guess the All-State choir of Texas is just too good for that. We had a guy singing alto and a girl singing tenor in my choir last year and there wasn't a problem. Why not just let him do it?

But if those are the rules, those are the rules. He should just deal with it.

I don't believe he should sing with the girls, I feel they should make him eligible as a countertenor...But when the rules are discriminatory, its not necesarily the best action to just deal with it IMO.

it's Texas.....doesn't surprise me at all
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Blucat, I don't think arrangements have a part for countertenors. They sing with the altos or sopranos. This is a choir; it's about the voices. If his voice is right for the soprano part, let him sing soprano. I sang with a guy in my alto section last year, so I'm really not seeing the problem here.

The interesting thing is most countertenors I've sung with sing alto...not soprano. As far as I know, most countertenor pieces are written in that range. Countertenor is also a very different tone than that of a typical female voice. It's beautiful, but does not sound like a female voice necessarily, and that could affect the tone of the entire choir.
I believe our state just enacted a similar ruling for female tenors...that unless there is a medical reason, girls may not audition for tenor parts.

OMG. I am a 14-year old and had 3 guy friends audition as Sopranos and they all were allowed to in Wisconsin. But then again...Its Texas...

To show my gratitude, I'll offer you this pointy black hat, which is just like the one Original Wicked Witch Margaret Hamilton wore in the movie!

What a great idea! How about throughout the play, you continue to offer me things like a black cloak, or a black
cape, or a broom to make me look more and more like Margaret Hamilton did! These attempts at humor will be painfully
predictable from a mile away!
AUDIENCE collectively groans.

Tch, I'd figure. That's so pathetic. He can sing the notes, so they should let him in.
I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

Ridiculous. I have sung in plenty of choirs where women sang tenors. What do they think he is.a Castratti?

there's a lady in our production who can sing BASS> that's crazy. I think they should let him sing.
Was that a fat joke?

That's ridiculous--from what I've heard, males used to sing alto/soprano and females would sing tenor in all county choruses.

Let him sing Soprano! In our choir, our whole TENOR section is a bunch of girls. Because we don't have any more guys... and they're all basses.

We had a girl singing Baritone last year. If the boy can sing, what's the problem? People are shallow.

I wanted to sing tenor when I was in choir in high school (since we only had 4 of them), but my teacher told me there's no such thing as a female tenor and kept me as an alto. I was slightly annoyed since singing male parts is easier for me then female. Heh. Though my range is much, much better than it was 3 years ago.
