During the performance they stood very straight and looked very serious. Clearly they were focused on doing everything perfectly. But when they stepped into the choir seats to listen while their organist played a complicated piece on the pipe organ they were looking up at the pipes like ordinary (but well-behaved) boys. After the concert they changed their clothes and came to the reception for punch and cookies. Then they talked and laughed with each other like any other group of 8 to 14 year old boys. I was really impressed by their talent, skill and discipline. Their web site is http://www.saintthomaschurch.org/ We were lucky to have them come to Tulsa.

We had a series of tv programmes on the choristers of St Paul's Cathedral and they too took their music very seriously but were v. ordinary children when out of "uniform". Over here it's a great honour to be chosen to attend this sort of school as not only do they receive an appreciation of music but, also, a first class private education.
This must have been an impressive buffet of sight and sound. I imagine it would be quite inspiring.
Talented boys!

Very nice Ruby Tuesday image. I love the contrast between the formality of the performance and the boys being boys in the second image. Have a blessed Tuesday.
