Burns' "My Love's an Arbutus" as an audition for the school choir. Was told I couldn't sing, and hence became a bass guitarist in later life! Now I write lyrics for people who can sing. (This is actually a beautiful song, but was so clinically presented it passed me by until later, enlightened life) Also had to sing "Floreat Bostona", the school song. The school Latin teacher later said that even he was unable to fully translate it! Music lessons were held in the sports pavilion, whereas the school "music room" was used for other purposes altogether. Dear Old Boston Grammar! (Boston UK)
