In show choir we have one officer. The person that takes attendance, helps the teacher, and comes up with new ideas. In the beginning of the year, we all voted for the officer. There were many to choose from, and a certain girl, lets call her Mandy, won. She's nice, talented, and responsible so it wasn't a surprise that she won. I voted for her too. Well, it's been a few months since show choir started. It seems like "Mandy" is trying to take over. Not even take over....more like be the know-it-all or best singer there. <br><br>She often corrects people when they sing the wrong word or note, and at first I thought she was trying to be nice and helpful. But, she's not afraid to say something out loud like "Can you tell them to work on their .......(blah blah"), or "Can we go over this? I feel like people are going higher than they should be." Usually, when she says that she says it loud, and looks right at the person it was directed at. <br><br>There's a certiain girl was has a very loud voice. It's pretty nice, but it can get annoying when she over powers the other singers. Mandy is open about critisizing her. When she was sick, Mandy talked about how bad we would sound when she came back, and added that she sounded like a goose. I'll admit, I partly agree with some of that, but she doesn't have to be that rude, even if the girl wasn't there. The worst part is, she posted on a certain website- "Part checks went good, but some were louder than others, if you know what I mean." Everyone knows who she was talking about, and it wasn't nessacary for her to post that, because the girl can easily see it. <br><br>Finally, today we worked on a song we'd never done before. Yes, we were supposed to practice it, but not everyone can sight sing that good, some need help. Anyways, it was pretty bad but we worked through it and the teacher didn't seem too concerned. Mandy, however, openly showed her disgust with the choir for not getting the notes. Then, I come home from choir and she has posted on this webiste, "You guys better work on *name of song!* Seriously, it was bad and we need more practice. But directing at us, instead of saying "Wow, we really should practice that song! I think it's coming along though."<br><br>It's like she makes no attempt to hide it when she feels angry or disgusted with something we did wrong. Every one makes mistakes, and you don't need to make others feel bad because you think you're perfect. And she never even shares the blame if a song goes poorly. <br><br>Do you think I'm over reacting? What would you do in the situation? Thanks.

  • Well, if you think she's being rude, tell her so and if you don't have the courage to do that, tell the teacher.

  • Eh..I hate when people are like that. When I was voted captain of my volleyball team I got to choose a co-captain. I chose this girl that I thought was an incredible player, and all my team mates agreed. As soon as she got that power she started acting like she was boss. She would correct everyone out loud and make it as embarrassing as possible. She had the nerve to correct me (when I needed no correction) and then argue with our coach when he would tell her to stop correcting me when I didn't need it. What I did? I asked her to stop politely. When she didn't, I asked her to stop again, with a little more force, but still respectfully. And when she still didn't stop I told her that if she continued to act the way she does I would replace her as co-captain for being unsportsman like. Everyone agreed with me completely, so she didn't try to start an unneccesary argument. You should ask to have a re-election. Would you be interested in taking her place? I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem if everyone feels the way that you do and if the situation is as bad as you make it sound. And No I don't think you are over reacting.
