Title:
Choir
School
David is Head Chorister at The Chorister
School in Durham.
It's a bit different from going to a 'normal'
school, firstly because David's a boarder and secondly because so much
time is taken up with music and singing in Durham
Cathedral.
However, just because the choristers might
look angelic and rather serious in their uniform and cassocks, it doesn't
mean they really are little angels. They
like to let their hair down just like everyone else. Occasionally they
also like to dress up, like on Fun Day, when David filmed much of this
short.
Brian
Barry,
Considering the video short was not much over two minutes long it was quite
interesting. In the time available to him, David gave a concise account
of his life as a chorister though the singing at the end was marred by poor
sound quality no doubt as a result of me not being on broadband.
