The first challenge is to have more young men singing, even if it's in their own separate group in whatever form they want. Boxer Matty Leonard, perhaps South Oxhey's most famous resident and an initial supporter of Gareth's overall mission, dropped out of the community choir after only one rehearsal since he only knew a handful of people there, which meant to him that the choir was not representative of the South Oxhey he knows. With Matty's help, Gareth goes on a recruiting drive to have Matty and his young male friends form a singing group. After an initial mis-start, they end up choosing as their venue a Friday night pub crawl through the estate as their singing debut, of which they are apprehensive if only not wanting to look foolish in front of their friends. The second and third challenges are somewhat similar: getting both the existing choirs to sing classical music, most specifically in Latin. The children's choir is initially reluctant, but eventually take on the challenge with verve, especially when they learn they will perform their Latin piece, Giuseppe Verdi's "Carmina Burana", jointly with Merchant Taylors' School Choir and an orchestra. Merchant Taylors' is a prestigious private school only a few miles away, but in the minds of South Oxhey residents it may as well be hundreds of miles away. Conversely, the community choir members are initially enthusiastic about their challenge when they hear a recording of their new song, Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei", which they are to perform in eight week's time in a joint concert with the renowned Hertfordshire Chorus. As the challenge ends up being more difficult than the choir members initially believed, Gareth may lose them forever unless he drops the idea. But a little adversity may instead end up being a bonding force. Written by Huggo See less
