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.
