The youngsters were welcomed during a specially choreographed, Covid-safe ceremony after Evensong. The “bumping” tradition for admitting choristers went ahead this year, with the chorister tutors for each choir - Jake Reynolds (boys) and Emily O’Donnell (girls) – doing the honours along with Salisbury Cathedral School’s head master Clive Marriott. All three staff wore masks. The girls were “bumped” as usual in the Trinity Chapel, using a giant prayer book, and the boys had their heads knocked on the ancient bumping stone in the South Quire Aisle. No one knows where the boys bumping tradition comes from, or how long it has been part of chorister admission, but when the girls choir was formed at the Cathedral in 1991, it was determined to have its own version – hence the ceremony with the enormous prayer book, in which all the names of girl choristers are written.
