Southwood followed with an infectious performance of Shut Up and Dance, before Queen’s House charmed the audience with Dear Future Husband. Christowe delivered a confident version of Steal My Girl, while Chandos impressed with a commanding performance of Salute.

Boyne House kept the momentum going with One Thing, Ashmead brought colour and personality to Cheap Thrills, and College Lawn spread smiles with Happy. Newick House added depth and emotion with Love Me Again, Hazelwell delivered intensity through Grenade, and Leconfield closed the evening with a stirring performance of Take Me To Church.

From creative choreography to coordinated costumes, every House demonstrated remarkable commitment and collaboration, making the evening a true celebration of College community spirit.
