The House Shout 2022

Houses submit their song selection then take the lead in rehearsals, bringing everyone together trying to find the perfect harmony accompanied by energetic choreography (all while managing varying levels of musical experience!). Dressed in No. 1’s, houses then take to the stage in the hopes of delivering a performance to entertain and delight not only the audience, but, most importantly, the judge!

Restrictions meant we couldn’t hold this live in The Hall, accompanied by our house band and with the full school in attendance as usual, but true house spirit always prevails and we were able to have each performance pre-recorded. While houses watched on from their common rooms, student representatives introduced each recording during the ceremony which was live-streamed from the JCB’s Oudang Room.

Guest judge Mr. Nigel Gaston, former Aiglon Houseparent and Head of Music, was glowing in his praise of the energy of all houses but, there could only be one winner:
