Congratulations to all five 8-13 Houses today for their impressive performances at the annual House Sing competition. Our guest judge, Dr Elliott from York Minster, and Mrs Craven had the tough job of judging the performances, which were excellent across the board.
Elmet started the competition by singing “Greatest Day” by Take That. The performance was rousing, with a very impressive use of two groups to sing different part of the song.
York followed with “Human” by The Killers, who showed that they had been very diligent with their rehearsing, making sure that they were all in time. Impressively, Manzo delivered the last line.
Alcuin then followed with “Try” by P!nk. Dr Elliott enjoyed their enthusiasm and said that they looked like they were all really enjoying themselves!
Fairfax then followed with a very jovial rendition of “Love Story” by Taylor Swift, which made everybody smile. Of particular note was the dramatization of the Romeo and Juliet story by Edward and Tom, who performed a proposal on stage!
Finally, Ainsty sang “Learn to Fly” by the Foo Fighters, who were perfectly together with their actions, and even included some rhythmic gym across the stage!
Dr Elliott and Mrs Craven thanked all of the performers for putting so much effort into their songs. Dr Eliott particularly praised the diction of all Houses which really helped to tell the story of their chosen song. All deserved to be proud of themselves, but we are happy to announce the winners of each category:
Most enthusiastic – Fairfax
Super Conductors – York
Excellent to watch – Ainsty
Best Smiles – Alcuin
The final overall winners were…. Elmet!
Congratulations everyone!
