So I ended up quitting the Boys Down the Hall last night. There had been many issues leading up to that point, but last night was the final straw. We auditioned off the solo for Prayin' For Daylight, a song that had a lot of sentimental value to me and I desperately wanted. We auditioned it off and they gave it to Bryan. He sucked, I sounded so much better than him, it's ridiculous! Jeremy auditioned too, but they didn't give it to him because we needed him on tenor I. I wasn't very good when I auditioned, but that was because Scott had Frank play me the first chord for reference, and the chord was WRONG, completely screwing me up.
I got so pissed off. This was the only solo I cared about. I've auditioned for every solo we have so far and haven't been able to get one. I wanted this one so bad, and I couldn't get it. The group members are terrible at choosing soloists. Scott to this day still doesn't know the words to One, when I know them all by heart.
The whole group plays favorites and it's all every man for himself. Scott and Jeremy run the damn group and undermine me at every step. I even asked some of the group members the other day if they thought I was being a good president. They told me no, it seemed like I didn't have any power, it was all Scott and Jeremy.
I was sick of babysitting everyone. I made sure everyone was always at rehearsal and tracked everyone down. I was sick of people making up excuses why other things were more important than rehearsal.
It always seemed as though no one cared about the group. Everyone had other things they cared more for.
Last night I just finally snapped. All this trouble is not worth the stress. All this work isn't worth performing a couple of times. It just isn't fun to me anymore. When I first joined BDtH I anticipated something like when I first saw them sing during accepted student's day (Prayin' For Daylight). The group I joined was not even close. I tried my hardest to get the group back to that point, but I'm sick of my efforts going unnoticed.
So I quit.
