Is it time to call it quits?

My voice has gone from Tenor 1 through Tenor 2 to Bass 1 in 5 years or so. The overall quality is down, but I’ve gotten great intonation along with the knowledge from 63 years of choral singing. Rehearsing last night, I realized I’m still contributing decently to the chorus.

What tempts me to pack it in on choral singing though is the sleep disruption. After a rehearsal that ends at 9:30 pm, it’s 11 pm or later before sleep comes. My old body doesn’t like that one bit.
