On Friday (30th July) the annual Small House Music competition was held and the appreciative audience enjoyed a range of music as each House performed.

The afternoon started with St John's, led by Coltrane Armour-Uluiviti singing a Michael Jackson Medley. This was followed by great harmonies from Marsden with the Seal classic "Kiss From A Rose" with Matthew Tasi leading the vocals.

Peart then treated the audience to an excellent performance of "Open Happiness" led by AJ Ieremia and the fine voice of Ngataua Hukutai.

The girls Houses were next up: Middlemore singing the Christina Aguilera version of "Candyman" and Taylor House with "Watcha Say" by Jason Derulo.

A guitar solo and fine vocal performance by Kriston Batistich was included in the School House rendition of Eric Clapton's "Change the World".

Greenbank sang the popular "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners and then Averill, with an excellent Meatloaf sound-alike performance from Evan Couper, sang, "I would do anything for love".

The last two acts for the afternoon included Parnell's fun, unusual and entertaining "Party in the MIA" with Neslon Annandale leading the antics. 

Selwyn House led by Tom Urry, closed the afternoon's competition, singing "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses.

The judges: Stuart Sherwood, Anna Gibbs and Angus McKay made their decision, which was then announced by MC, Philip Coombe:

First - Greenbank
2nd - Peart
3rd - Marsden
