The start of Lent Term is always marked by the inter-House music competitons, culminating in the House Unison event, where every single member of the House joins in singing a song chosen and directed by one of the sixth-form. This is performed, with much embarrassment, in front of the judge and all the other Houses; this year's performance will be next Saturday. It's always good to watch the Unison progress from baffled disbelief to confident musicality, normally via self-conscious shuffling and stressful moments in which the sixth-former loses the will to live. This year, the House have chosen a difficult song(Ain't no mountain high enough) and it's proving a challenge. Tonight was the first rehearsal in the main school hall, and it wasn't bad. It's got a long way to go before it's anywhere near good, but it wasn't bad.

Was it worse than bad? - Tom
I remember being a six former leading my underlings in a similar house music concert. We and Om Pah Pah (is that how you spell it?) from Oliver. WE didn't win but we did it really well, although I distinctly remember pulling my hair out in frustration at times. Ah, happy days.....
