A choir is a lot like a family: a group of people with different personalities who spend a lot of time together, treat each other with a special loyalty (occasionally accompanied by sibling-like rivalry) and bond over shared experiences. Sometimes those experiences can be inspiring and moving. But just as often, the moments that unite a group of choristers involve a good dose of funny — both ha-ha and strange.

Taking a page out of the Awkward Family Photos hymnal, CBC Music has decided to create a friendly forum for the choral community to share their embarrassingly uncomfortable choir-related photography. We want you to send us your awkward choir photos, and we'll publish the best on our site.
Please send your submissions to classical@cbc.ca (subject: awkward) along with a description, photo credit, your name and contact details. In the meantime, please enjoy the above gallery of cringe-worthy snaps from around the choral world.
