(on a good day I can get down to the D below middle C, sometimes even that C, if it's early in the morning!)
*jaw drops* Wow! My shining achievement, back when I was taking lessons in high school, was an F below middle C, and that was only when I was really warmed up and was doing scales down to it. Now the A is about as far as I can go reliably, Ab on a good day. (Luckily, that's as far as four years of college choir ever asked me to go. On the other hand, as even the other first sopranos were groaning at prospect of another C two octaves above middle C, I was mentally going, "More like this, please!")
I admit, when I've been stuck on two Gs above middle C for thirty-some measures while everyone else gets to move around, the alto lines have started looking mighty nice. ;) Usually I quite enjoy having the melody, though, and that euphoric feeling of hitting a really high note as fortissimo as possible right at the end of a piece, in a huge choir, cannot be beat. *wallows in nostalgia*
