So as some of you may know, Allie and Matt and I were in a chorus concert on Saturday afternoon for our All Campus Choral Ensemble performance. Allie was in the alto section, Matt was a bass, and I was in the tenor and alto sections. According to the teacher, I was mentioned in both sections of the program for singing in two different sections.

So I took a look, and as it turned out, I was listed as two different people. In the Alto section, I was listed as Alexandra Palombo (as I had asked, that's my name). In the tenor section, I was listed as Alex Palumbo - my last name was spelled wrong and it was cut down to Alex to make it look like it was a man singing in the men's section.

I figure that the last name was an honest mistake, - I mean, really, the same person is in the program twice, you would think someone would look above and make sure they were at least consistent if not right - but I don't know about the first name issue. Looking at the program, it felt as if the teacher was trying to deny that there was a woman singing tenor.
