Boys in Trouble
A series of unrelated one-post stories about boys in a variety of different predicaments.
Robert
“Oh, isn’t that lovely,” Mary
Fairholme exclaimed, as she sat in the lounge drinking a cup of coffee.
It was just approaching a quarter to twelve on Sunday morning and she,
along with her husband Charles, daughter Susan, son-in-law Paul, and
grandchildren 10-year-old Robert and 12-year-old Lauren had not long
returned from church. It was a glorious Spring day; the sun was shining
brightly, the sky was blue with light fluffy clouds, and as they had
walked back through the village from the church the trees and hedgerows
were bursting with blossom, and the grass verges were decked with
celandines, daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses.
As soon as
they had arrived home Robert and Lauren had gone upstairs to their
rooms to get changed out of their Sunday-best clothes, whilst Susan had
gone through to the kitchen to put the leg of lamb into the oven for
lunch and make some coffee. Mary, Charles and Paul had all gone through
to the lounge where they had sat chatting until Susan brought the tray
of coffee through.
It was while they were chatting that Robert had started singing in his bedroom; he was three weeks short of his 11th
birthday, and had a really beautiful voice. He loved music and played
the piano and violin, at both of which he was progressing extremely
well through the music examination grades, but his real passion was
singing, and his voice was wonderfully pure and crystal clear. He went
to the Sunday morning service with his family every week, so that he
could sing in the magnificent surroundings of the 13th century church, and occasionally he would also attend the evening service with his grandparents as well.
As his birthday approached Mary discovered that the church was looking
for new choristers to join the choir, and were particularly keen to
attract boy sopranos as two of their current members’ voices had
recently broken and they wanted to find two new boys to replace them,
and at the same time maintain the balance of the choir. Because of the
size of the choirstalls the number of choir members was limited to a
maximum of 24 at any one time, and due to an ancient decree going back
several hundred years, all of the members had to be male and live in
the village. This had caused a few issues in more recent times with
women making allegations of sexism and discrimination, but as it was
recorded on the statute books and was a village tradition there was
nothing that could be done about it.
The choir currently was
not at capacity and there were six vacancies. Unusually for a village
choir it did not have many older members in its ranks, and was made up
predominantly of younger members, and had a number of boys aged between
11 and 19 years, along with four men in the 20s and 30s. This gave it
rather a unique appeal, as with so many young voices singing together,
with their wonderful harmonious tones, it created a very enjoyable
atmosphere. It wasn’t therefore surprising that the church had bucked
the trend of fewer people attending and instead had a very loyal
congregation of parishioners which ensured that Sunday morning services
were very well-attended indeed. It also helped considerably that the
choirmaster was a very enthusiastic 35-year old, called Jacob, who had
been a member of the choir for 20 years, before succeeding the previous
incumbent who had retired. In addition to the traditional hymns that
were sung each week, he would also include a special choral piece which
the choir would sing, the introduction of which had proven to be
extremely popular.
The minimum age for boys to join St.
Dunstan’s Church choir was 11-years, and so the timing couldn’t have
been better for Robert. When his grandmother told him about it, his
face lit up with excitement; he couldn’t wait for his birthday to
arrive anyway, and now he had even more cause to look forward to it so
that he could go along to the choir rehearsals and audition.
******
Robert’s birthday had fallen on a Friday, and so that evening the whole
family, including his grandparents had gone out to a restaurant in the
nearest town for dinner. They all had a very enjoyable evening,
particularly Robert who was allowed to order whatever he wanted to eat
as it was his special day, and so had garlic prawns as a starter,
followed by steak and chips as his main meal, and then chocolate fudge
cake and ice-cream for dessert. He was very full by the end of it, but
had had a fabulous time and a brilliant birthday, with the celebrations
continuing into the weekend.
On Saturday he had around a
dozen of his friends over for a bar-be-que in the garden, and then on
Sunday his other grandparents Jean and Jim, who lived a couple of
hundred miles away surprised him by joining the rest of the family at
church. They had stopped overnight at a Travelodge on the way down from
Cumbria and had left early so that they could arrive in time for the
morning service. They had spoken to him on the phone on Friday to wish
him ‘Happy Birthday’ but he had no idea they would be visiting for
lunch on Sunday, and so it was really lovely when they suddenly
appeared much to his amazement. After church they all returned home,
and with eight people for lunch Susan was kept busy in the kitchen,
although Mary helped her, and they all sat down to a most delicious
lunch of home-made tomato soup, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and roast
vegetables, with apple pie and custard to follow. Jean and Jim stayed
until just after 4pm when they left to begin their drive home, although
they would again be staying the night at a Travelodge before completing
their journey the next day.
They had been told all about the
vacancies in the church choir and Robert’s plans to audition to join,
and had in fact heard his voice at the service that morning, singing
along with everyone else’s as it had really stood out and been quite
noticeable. Before they left Robert gave them all a treat when he sang
‘Oh for the Wings of a Dove’ the song that he was going to sing at the
rehearsal on Wednesday when the auditions were also taking place. All
of his family, particularly his two grandmothers were enchanted and
totally captivated by his stunning clear voice, as he delivered a quite
beautiful rendition of it, that succeeded in causing Mary and Jean to
reach for their handkerchiefs. By the time he had finished everyone was
convinced that he would set the auditions alight and they all gave him
a round of applause; Robert grinned at them and gave a little bow.
******
After all the excitement of his birthday weekend, Robert now had
Wednesday’s audition ahead of him which he was eagerly looking forward
to. When the day arrived, he was excited beyond belief and arrived at
the church with his grandmother Mary, who having found out originally
that the choir were recruiting wanted to be there to accompany him, and
if anything was even more thrilled and worked-up than he was, if that
was possible.
It had been arranged that the auditions would
take place at 6.30pm, with those who were successful then being invited
to join in with the rest of the choir practice that followed at 7.15pm.
As only residents who lived in the village were eligible to take part,
it wasn’t expected that there would be large numbers taking part in the
auditions, and this turned out to be correct, with just three other
boys present in addition to Robert. The auditions would be taking place
in the church itself and each of the boys would be required to sing one
piece of their choice which they would perform unaccompanied without
music. Two of the boys were the same age as Robert, having also
recently reached 11 years of age, and the fourth boy was 15 years old.
The two younger boys were accompanied by their parents, whilst the
older boy was on his own; all of them sat in the front row of seats in
the church as they waited.
“Hello everyone, and thank you very
much for coming along this evening,” a voice announced as a man in his
30s appeared from a door in the chancel area. “My name’s Jacob, and I’m
the choirmaster” he said, as he introduced himself. He then asked them
their names and explained what would be happening; each boy would come
up to the chancel when their name was called and would sing their
chosen piece; after all four boys’ had auditioned, then he would call
them up again one at a time and let them know whether or not they had
been successful.
The first boy to audition was Kai; he was
similar in statue to Robert and as soon as he started to sing, Robert
was sure that he would be accepted. He had a very clear, very precise
and quite amazing voice, and had chosen to sing ‘Walking in the Air’
the theme from ‘The Snowman’. He sang it absolutely beautifully and was
a true delight to listen to, so much so that Mary found herself dabbing
her eyes once again. Kai was followed by the older boy, Matthew, who
sand the hymn ‘Abide with Me’ and delivered a very impressive
performance, with perfect pitch and resonance and a strong and easy to
listen to baritone voice.
Alfie was next to be called meaning
that Robert would be the final one of the four to audition. Mary
glanced at him and leaning over whispered; “they’re saving the best
until last,” which provoked a smile from her slightly nervous grandson.
Alfie started to sing ‘Bright Eyes’ but after a couple of moments
stopped and coughed two or three times before apologising and asking if
he could start again which Jacob agreed to. When he began singing again
it was quite apparent that his voice didn’t sound quite right; sounding
off-key, strained and rather hoarse, and after several more moments he
stopped again and with tears welling up in his eyes he stammered that
he was sorry but that he couldn’t continue. Jacob went over and
consoled him before helping the distressed boy back to where his
parents were sitting. His mother explained that he had had a really bad
cold and sore throat for the past week or so, but was desperate not to
miss out on the audition. Jacob was very understanding when he heard
this and reassured Alfie, telling him not to be disappointed, and that
when he was fully recovered, he could come back and audition again.
This cheered him up enormously, and as his mother and father both
thanked Jacob; the expression on his face brightened considerably and
he gave the choirmaster a watery smile.
At last it was
Robert’s turn, and despite having a few butterflies in his stomach he
walked confidently up the steps to the chancel and announced that he
was going to sing ‘Oh for the Wings of a Dove.’
“Thank you,” Jacob responded, “when you are ready please begin.”
Robert took a deep breath, glanced across to where his grandmother was
sitting and smiled and then focussing his eyes on the font at the back
of the church he began. He had never had the opportunity to sing solo
in such a huge building as this before and he was determined to make
the most of it; from the moment he uttered the first sound his
performance was mesmerising; crisp, crystal clear, pure and above all
beautiful. His voice exuded confidence; it was bright, warm and
powerful, hitting the highest notes so perfectly that it was an utterly
stunning and quite astonishing accomplishment. When he finished, there
was a moment of silence before suddenly there was spontaneous applause
from everywhere; Jacob was on his feet, the members of the choir who
had arrived for their practise had been drawn into the church by the
sound of his voice and were stood at the back giving an ovation, and
even the other boys who had auditioned and their parents were standing
and clapping. Mary, was completely overcome with Robert’s breath-taking
performance and was standing and applauding with tears streaming down
both cheeks, such were the extent of her emotions.
Robert was
totally gobsmacked with the response and as he glanced around him he
didn’t know what else to do but just remain where he was, as probably
the biggest smile he had ever generated spread across his face, and by
the time he re-took his seat next to Mary he was beaming and radiating
so much warmth that his grandmother almost needed sunglasses to deflect
the brightness. She immediately flung her arms around him and kissed
him; “Oh, Robert, that was the most wonderful thing I have ever heard
in my entire life,” she exclaimed.
Almost as soon as Robert
had sat down Jacob asked Kai to come back up to the chancel again to
find out whether he had been successful or not. A couple of minutes
later and a very happy 11-year-old returned with a huge smile on his
face to confirm to his parents that he had been accepted as a member of
the choir. He was followed by Matthew who was also successful in his
audition. Alfie having not been able to complete his song was already
aware that he would have another chance to impress Jacob when he had
got over his cold and sore throat.
That just left Robert,
who was called up at that precise moment by Jacob, and made his way up
the steps to the chancel to hear what the choirmaster had to say. Jacob
was sat on the edge of one of the choir stalls as Robert approached,
before standing in front of him.
“Well Robert,” he said
smiling; “what can I say? It is not very often that I am lost for
words, but on this occasion, I have to admit that I am really
struggling to find the right comments to make to you that adequately
describe how you sang this evening. I have to say that your performance
was one of the most stunning, scintillating and utterly fabulous that
it has been my privilege to listen to; you absolutely blew me away
completely, and I have no doubt at all that with that special voice you
have a very big future ahead of you, and of course you have earned your
place as a member of this church’s choir. Congratulations!” He reached
out and shook a delighted Robert’s hand, who then returned his face
wreathed in smiles to his thrilled grandmother.
“Oh, Robert, I
am so very, very proud of you,” Mary stated as she continued to weep
tears of joy, “as I’m sure everyone will be when they find out. It’s
just absolutely wonderful.”
The three boys, were invited by
Jacob to join the other members of the choir for their first practice
session. Most of the choir was present, although there were four
members unable to attend that evening. Alfie and his parents left to
make their way home, with Jacob asking them to let him know when he had
got over his cold and he would arrange another audition for him. Kai’s
parents and Mary were informed by Jacob that they would be more than
welcome to stay and listen to the practice if they would like to, and
all three of them were very pleased to accept his offer.
For
the practice itself none of the choir wore any robes or cassocks, as
these were solely worn during church services. Jacob introduced Robert,
Kai and Matthew to Dominic, the Head Choir Boy, who was responsible for
making sure that all the junior members of the choir; those aged under
20 were aware of their roles and responsibilities. He would give the
signal when they needed to move around the church and where they needed
to stand for specific services, and he also ensured that their
appearance was smart and they were wearing their cassocks properly. He
had been Head Choir Boy since he was 17-years-old and was due to step
down in a few weeks’ time when he turned 20, when he would hand over
his position to the next eldest boy, and he would become one of the
choir’s senior members. Jacob also explained to the three new boys that
they would need to attend four practice sessions before they would be
allowed to sing as full members of the choir in a church service as
they needed to gain an understanding of everything before they sang in
public.
Of the 18 current members of the choir; there were 14
of them present for this practice, along with the three newcomers; that
meant that there were still three vacancies, although one of those
would probably be filled by Alfie once he had managed to complete his
audition. During the practice the choir sang the hymns that would be
included in the two church services the following Sunday, as well as
rehearsing the choral piece that Jacob had selected for the main
morning service. Robert loved every minute of it and was quite
disappointed when at 8.30pm it was time to finish. He was however
looking forward enormously to the next couple of weeks when he could
hone his singing skills and get to know the other members of the choir
better, and then finally achieve his aim of singing in the choir in
church on Sunday. Before then though he would have the excitement of
telling the other members of his family about his success.
Unsurprisingly his parents and sister were thrilled to hear his news,
as indeed were his other grandparents; on the way home, he and Mary
called in at her house and he told his grandfather Charles who shook
him by the hand and congratulated him, then when he got home he rang
Jean and Jim, his other grandparents in Cumbria and told them; who were
both overjoyed when he informed them, and said that they couldn’t wait
to see him in his robes and hear him singing as a member of the choir
in church the next time they visited.
When he arrived at
school the following day, he was still full of smiles and let all of
his friends and teachers know that he had been accepted as a member of
the church choir, receiving pats on the back, handshakes and fist bumps
of congratulation from them. Mrs Donaldson, his music teacher was
particularly delighted, especially when Robert revealed what Jacob had
said to him the previous evening; when she heard about the massive
compliment that he had received she was even more elated and told him
how proud she was of him. Robert stood there and grinned; he was very
happy indeed.
******
For the next couple of weeks
Robert was on cloud nine; he was walking around everywhere with an
almost permanent smile on his face and was having a really fantastic
time. He was constantly singing around the house which his parents and
sister didn’t mind in the slightest, as they all enjoyed listening to
his beautiful voice. On Sundays at church he would carefully watch as
the choir arrived and departed, attending both the morning service with
his family, and the evensong with his grandmother. He observed what the
choir did, when they moved around and where they stood and knelt,
especially when it came to holy communion.
By his third
choir practice he knew all the names of the other members of the choir,
and had also become friends with Kai, who he discovered to his
amazement was born on exactly the same day as him. At the end of his
third practice he, Kai and Matthew were spoken to by Dominic, as they
each had one more practice to attend the following week before they
would be able to sing in church as members of the choir for the first
time. Needless to say, both of the younger boys were very, very excited
about it. Matthew wouldn’t however be around that weekend as he would
be away with his parents at a family wedding in Yorkshire, and so his
first appearance as a member of the choir wouldn’t be until the week
after Robert and Kai’s.
In preparation for their first church
service Dominic asked both boys to try on their cassocks to ensure that
they fitted properly; at 11-years of age they were the youngest members
of the choir by a couple of years. There were two types of cassocks;
those that were put on over the head and dropped down full length to
the floor, and those that were open at the back and tied together to
close, a bit like the type of garment you would wear in a hospital.
These were the older-style cassocks and tended to be given to the newer
members of the choir initially. Both boys tried them on and found that
they weren’t a particularly good fit, and were quite loose; Dominic
told them not to worry as he would get his older sister to take them in
slightly so that they were more comfortable and closer fitting, and
they could try them on again at their final practice session the
following week. Each of them was very excited that they were so close
to actually performing as members of the choir in church.
The
next week flew by very quickly and before he knew it, it was Wednesday
evening again and Robert and Kai were at their final practice. At this
session Dominic produced their altered cassocks and helped them to try
them on; this time they fitted much better, although they both found
them very difficult to put on as they needed to be tied at the back
with six separate bows. Dominic told them not to worry and that he
would be able to help them on Sunday.
“Now, there is
something else that you both need to know about your first service,”
Dominic informed them; “it’s sort of an initiation ceremony for new
members of the choir, which means that you are formally accepted as
full members of the choir by all the other boys.” This was news to both
Robert and Kai as they hadn’t been aware of this previously.
“What do we need to do?” Robert asked.
“Well for their first service all new choirboys have to be naked under
their cassocks, apart from wearing a pair of black shoes,” he replied.
Robert and Kai both looked at one another and then stared at Dominic in
complete amazement.
“What?” Kai said in surprise.
“Surely you don’t mean that, do you?” Robert exclaimed, looking quite taken aback.
“Yes, it’s perfectly true,” Dominic told them; he then called over
three or four other boys from the choir, and asked them to verify that
what he had said was true. The other choirboys guessed that Dominic was
playing a joke on the two new boys, as the service on Sunday would be
his final one as Head Choir Boy, and so went along with it, backing him
up and confirming that being naked under their cassocks was a
requirement for their first service. Robert and Kai were still not
quite sure about it, but as the other members of the choir had
confirmed what Dominic had said, it convinced them that it must be
true, and as they didn’t want get into any trouble by breaking with
tradition, they both agreed to do it. When their backs were turned and
they were out of earshot, Dominic winked at the other boys; “this could
be a lot of fun,” he remarked in a loud whisper, as a grin appeared on
his face.
Robert and Kai’s last practice went very well and
the two of them, Robert especially, really couldn’t wait for Sunday.
Just before they left, they were informed by Dominic what time they
needed to arrive on Sunday, and where they needed to go, and reminded
not to forget to wear black shoes.
******
The
remainder of the week passed with Robert getting more and more excited
as the weekend approached, and then on Saturday he received a surprise
visit from his grandparents, Jean and Jim who had travelled down from
Cumbria just so that they could be there to share the moment when he
made his first appearance as a member of the church choir. They had
booked into the local bed and breakfast guest house in the village and
would be staying all weekend. Robert was even more thrilled when he
discovered this as it meant his whole family would now be present to
listen to him perform as part of the choir, which would make it a
really very special occasion.
Robert had a very enjoyable day
spent with both sets of grandparents, his parents and sister; they all
had an evening meal together and then at half past eight he said
goodnight to them all and made his way upstairs to his bedroom to get a
good night’s sleep in preparation for his big day. He climbed into bed,
switched off his bedside lamp, and lay under the duvet thinking about
the following morning, his mind focussed on having to be naked under
his cassock, which he was still slightly mystified about, but he
certainly wasn’t going to let it worry him. His thoughts gradually
became fuzzy as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next
morning. he was up by a quarter to eight, showered and dressed and
downstairs in the kitchen having his bowl of cereal. His mother
appeared and made some tea, which he drank before heading back up to
the bathroom, cleaning his teeth and getting his black shoes ready. The
church service began at 10am, and Dominic had asked him and Kai to be
there 45 minutes beforehand, so that they could change into their
cassocks, and allow themselves to be relaxed and prepared in readiness
for the moment they would enter the church as members of the choir for
the first time and walk through the nave to the chancel, before taking
their places in the choirstalls. At just before 9 o’clock he called out
‘goodbye’ to his mother, and Susan in turn wished him ‘good luck’ and
she would see him after the service. He then made his way out of the
front door for the short stroll over to the church. On the way there he
happened to bump into Kai, and so the two of them walked along together
chatting as they did so; each of them full of excitement about what
they were about to do.
When they arrived at the church it was
just after ten past nine; they entered via the main door at the back
and then went straight across and through the door opposite which led
to the rooms that the choir and clergy used, and also provided another
access to the church hall which was located on the other side from the
main entrance. Dominic was already there, and wearing his cassock, as
were several of the other boys, who Robert recognised as being the ones
who had confirmed their requirement to go naked for the first service.
Dominic welcomed them to their first service as fully fledged members
of the choir and pointing to a couple of chairs indicated that they
should change and put their clothes on the chairs, whilst he got their
cassocks for them which were hanging on a rail in the long cupboard
which rang along the length of one wall of the room. As he went across
the to fetch them, he winked and smiled at the other boys who all
grinned back at him. Robert and Kai meanwhile started stripping off;
removing the light coats they had worn to walk to the church, followed
by their jumpers and shirts. They needed to take their shoes off to
remove their trousers, and as Dominic returned with their cassocks,
they were just unzipping them, and after dropping them to the floor it
left each of them in just their socks and briefs.
“Do we really need to take everything off?” Kai asked him.
“Yes,” Dominic replied, “except for your socks.
“Uh, okay then,” Kai stated, as he and Robert both pulled their briefs
down and stepped out of them, leaving them naked apart from their
socks. A couple more boys from the choir had now arrived and so there
were half a dozen boys gazing at the two 11-year-olds, who were feeling
a little embarrassed as they stood there showing everyone their smooth
little cocks, and cute arses. Dominic looked each of them up and down
and grinned at them.
“Well done!” he said, congratulating them
on going through with it. As more members of the choir began to arrive
and put their cassocks on, so Dominic helped Robert and Kai into
theirs. His sister had done a pretty good job, and they seemed to fit
much better, although they still felt slightly loose at the back.
“Don’t worry about that, once I’ve secured these ties together, they
should be fine,” he informed them as he fastened Kai’s and then
Robert’s.
With 10 minutes to go until the service was due to
start all the members of the choir were assembled; there were a few
missing, so there would be 15 of them in total. At five to ten, they
all lined up in the passageway that led into the church which they had
come through when they arrived earlier, and at exactly 10 o’clock they
entered through the doorway into the church as the organ started
playing the introduction to the opening hymn; ‘Our God, Our Help in
Ages Past’ which the choir then started singing as they entered the
nave to walk through the centre of the church, past the congregation to
the chancel, where they would then take their places in the choirstalls.
At the head of the procession was a member of the clergy carrying a
cross, followed by the vicar, with the head choir boy next in line,
leading the choir who walked two abreast; with Robert and Kai being the
newest members of the choir bringing up the rear. The church was as
usual quite packed for the main Sunday morning service, and there were
several visitors present, including Robert’s grandparents, and some of
Kai’s relatives.
Both boys were thrilled to bits as they
walked through the church singing their hearts out; their faces bright
and cheery, as they enjoyed their special moment. Robert’s proud family
were all seated together in a row towards the front, and as the choir
progressed towards the chancel, they could see Robert walking alongside
Kai; behind the other choir members, their distinct voices clearly
audible. As he passed by them, the eyes of his parents, grandparents
and sister all widened as they stared in disbelief; the ties on the
cassocks that he and Kai were wearing, which Dominic had fastened for
them only went about two-thirds of the way down, so that as the boys
strode forwards, the motion of them doing so caused the cassocks to
open up at the back giving everyone in the congregation a perfect view
of the two boys cute little arses. Robert’s two grandmothers who were
sitting next to one another looked quite stunned, whilst Lauren
couldn’t help herself as a smile appeared on her face.
Once
the boys were seated in the choirstalls they didn’t need to move again
until it was time for communion. The clergy and choir went first, with
anyone who had not been confirmed leaving their hands by their sides
and not holding them out in front of them to receive bread or wine;
this applied to both Robert and Kai who received a blessing from the
vicar instead. As they left their seats and moved to kneel at the
communion rail, their backsides were again on show, much to the
amusement of the other members of the choir and in particular Dominic.
With the choir back in their places again, they began to sing the
psalms as the rest of the congregation came forward to receive
communion; as they passed by the choirstalls they glanced across at
Robert and Kai who smiled and sang, completely oblivious to their
situation.
The whole service lasted for just over an hour, and
at the end of it, the member of clergy with the cross again led the
choir, singing the final hymn back down into the nave and through the
congregation towards the back of the church. As Robert and Kai passed
by, so all the heads of those present turned to gaze at their cute
little arses which were once again prominently displayed.
As
this was Dominic’s last service as head choir boy, he was the final
person in the procession that made its way through the church; he
smiled as he stared at the wonderful sight that his eyes were feasting
on. He would probably get a telling off from Jacob for not doing
anything about the boys’ cassocks, but he felt that was definitely
worth it, as walking behind two very cute, good-looking young
choirboys, gazing at their delightful and quite adorable arses was a
brilliant way of ending his tenure in the role, and was one that he
would always look back on with very happy memories.
