Before you commit
Choir Singing
- Your single voice exposed and wandering off pitch would mortify you.
- You would rather sing solo than blend and bury yourself in a section.
- Weekly rehearsals and sight-reading rhythms feel like too much commitment.
Drone Racing
- Your first drone arriving home as broken carbon and loose wires would gut you.
- You don't want half the hobby to be building and fixing the quad.
- Spectacular early crashes every few seconds would wear your patience thin.
