His choice of performance venue is the Music for Youth prom held every November at Royal Albert Hall, the prom which showcases the best of youth music in Britain. The issues are that the deadline has already past for application to perform, and it is a by invitation only event. Gareth appeals to the prom's executive, who allow the choir to audition. Although the non-audition Lancaster School choir is not up to the standards of the other musical acts already chosen, the prom also is a venue to showcase educational aspects of music. Beyond preparing the boys for the audition - it being the first time the boys will have ever been evaluated critically as a choir, and the first time they will hear other more established and polished choirs sing - Gareth has another challenge in that he is required to bring the numbers up to 100 if chosen to perform; the current choir has only 60 boys. With the summer break, he decides to recruit from the new students coming into the school from the primary years. But Gareth also has to factor in attrition, not only of the boys graduating, but also those that have lost interest. He also wants to involve the school rappers in the singing program, whether it be in the formal choir or in a group as their own. Gareth brings in some assistance in trying to convince the rappers, who are an influential peer group within the school. By the time the boys' final audition arrives for the Music for Youth prom, Gareth has them sing what may seem an unconventional choice of music. Written by Huggo See less
