Three members of College House (and their Housemaster) were part of the choir tour that visited Paris over the weekend. The joint choir tour with Queen Anne's School was a huge success and provided experiences that few of us have, or are likely again, to experience. A concert in La Madeleine, and Masses in Notre Dame and St Clotilde proved to be extremely well attended and popular. The highlight for many of us was taking part in Mass on Saturday evening in the cathedral of Notre Dame, attended by roughly 600 people! The gothic slendour of the building, the mystery of a full Catholic Mass and the phenomenal playing of international organ star Olivier Lattry all made for an unforgetable experience.
The three boys, James Gifford, Nick Harper and Sam Neale all played their part, with James performing a solo in the concert at La Madeleine. Monday morning, however, came as a bit of a shock! The three were straight back into the hectic life most boys have here; Nick was part of the Public Speaking team representing the College at the Kenton Threatre on Monday evening in "Youth Speaks", Sam sat a Business Studies exam in the afternoon and James returned to his busy Art and Drama schedule.
