House Singing Competition

Published by Stowe School on Tuesday 9th of April 2024

There are few whole School events that can capture the spirit and ethos of Stowe as well as the annual House Singing Competition and this year’s competition produced exceptional performances.

The process began with the Houses performing a House Song in one of three Heats held in the Ugland Auditorium at the start of March. The performances were judged by two members of the Music Department using a bespoke marking criteria which is shared with Houseparents at the start of the Lent Term. The top six Houses from across all three Heats progress into the Final. The same process is repeated for the Part Song competition where again, the top six scoring Houses proceed to the Final.

The Final was held in the School Chapel on March 16 and adjudicated by Mr Huw Jones, Director of Music and Assistant Head at John Lyon School and Mr Jonathan Kingston, Head of Vocal Studies at Stowe.
