...When you go out to eat afterward. -  ...When the MOM, or some other MM leader w/ some say so, suggests "jazzing up" hymn music (not lyrics) because s/he doesn't want to teach/learn new songs. - ...When you have to play the chorus of Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" whenever some one gets a bday shout out from the pulpit.

When your church is a storefront and only seats 40, but it's called a cathedral.

LOL!!! I don't know what some people be thinking!

A speaker brought her musician with her this past Saturday and dude had on a bubble coat. That's fine, but he played with the bubble coat on the ENTIRE time :D :-\. I know dude's arms were super moist, especially after playing intense shouting music lol. Then asked for cold water. Take that heavy behind coat off!!

 :D
LOL!!!!

When you're wearing a conservative black suit and you look out of place because all the other men are wearing yellow bow ties, pink shirts, polka-dot shoes, brown vest, and green pants that are a size too small.
We hosted a group from Vegas back in June, and I swear, the lead singer had on jeans so skinny I could hardly pay attention to what they were singing.  And the drummer, with his fine self, looked like his shirt was made of a red and white picnic table cloth.  I KNEW he was the drummer when he walked in the door, lol.

The drummer is normally the coolest cat in the group or at least they think so.

...there are 4 tenors, 3 sopranos, and 15 altos in the choir.

TROOF!! I just can't figure out how the biggest section of a choir gets drowned out by the smallest section. SMH!

It's because they don't have the range to be a soprano but they don't have the ear to be an alto.  :-\

LOL! We have that problem too. Our young adult choir has declined in the last couple of years (mainly because many left when the pastor left plus some other issues....) and we have like 2 sopranos, 2 tenors and like 11 altos.....SMH!!!

when someone from the congregation yells "Yall sound like real LIFE angels" during the choir's selection...which so happens to be acapella

when someone claps when the preacher says "I'm closing"...for the third time

when someone tries picks up a church bench when they are shouting

when the people form the circle lock around people who are shouting and then one of them start shouting and the circle has to revamp!

You know you're in a BAPTIST church when the male chorus sings "In Times Like These" and the women LOSE IT, yelling and screaming and rolling on the ground as if shots have just been fired. This happened at my church yesterday.

When you go to a storefront church to minister with your music group, and someone gets up and preaches for over 3 hours, so you gotta contemplate if you're gonna leave and possibly look rude, or continue to spend the last part of your weekend in this church
