May 15 2024 - How Many Choirs

 

One of the songs we sing in the choir I am in is "Isle of Skye".  You can youtube search any song and a choir will have sung it - all kinds of choirs.  School choirs, church choirs, professional choirs, You've Got Talent auditions of choirs.  I wonder where choir music ranks in the top watched videos on Youtube. 

This is too hard - there are a lot of choirs and a lot of music.  There is even a list of the 1,000 most viewed songs on Youtube.  That would take a little while to listen to.  

There are about 28,000 choirs in Canada with 1.8 million adults (7% of all adults) in a choir.  More people sing in choirs than play hockey.  Another census found that there are 3.5 million Canadians singing in a choir/singing group.  Maybe that includes children.  

That sounds like a lot of local music to be able to enjoy.  

With that many people in choirs, there should be some jokes. Here are two for the choir members.

 
Here are a few traditional choir jokes:

What did the choir director send his wife for Valentine’s Day?
A choral arrangement

What do choruses get paid in?  
har-money

Why do the singers rock left and right while performing on stage?
Because it is more difficult to hit a moving target.
