He goes to the estate's six primary schools to recruit members. Among the six is Colnbrook, a school focusing on special needs students. Rather than their learning issues being a problem, Gareth hopes that the choir will provide a positive and inclusive outlet to a group that is even more marginalized than the general South Oxhey populace. As he gets the seventy strong children's choir going, he faces the challenge of dealing with the short attention spans typical of any group of children, and needs to find a way to deal with this issue effectively to get them ready for a performance in short order. Meanwhile back with the community choir, Gareth tells them that they will have another public performance in six weeks time, this time to a paying audience. They will be the guest performers at a Christmas concert headlined by the renowned Watford Philharmonic. What is daunting about this event is not only the paying customer aspect, but that it will be held at the Watford Colosseum to an audience that they know figuratively thumbs their noses at the notion of anything related to South Oxhey. In getting them ready for the concert, Gareth faces another challenge in that his men are dwindling in number and the basses in particular are not providing the grounding sound that the choir needs to anchor it. So Gareth goes on another recruiting drive specifically for testosterone. Written by Huggo See less
