I have never seem this happen.

My guess would be that the "boss" altar boy got confused because the Deacon and Subdeacon (correctly) did not kneel for the confiteor, and the rest of the boys just followed him.

High Masses are not that common, so it is understandable if a few mistakes like this happen.

There's actually a difference between a Sung mass (missa cantata) and a high mass. If it's just priest and servers, it's referred to as a Sung mass. If there's Sacred ministers serving as well (subdeacon and deacon) then it's a high mass, or solemn high mass.

And the Missa Cantata doesn't officially exist.  It's really a Low Mass with some parts sung instead of spoken.  Some of the implications of this are that the singing by the choir is not Liturgical (so, for instance, the altar boys still have to say the responses because those of the choir don't "count") ... but merely an aesthetic decoration of the Low Mass.

Did they at least bow profoundly?
No, not at all.  Not even the head bowed.

Why don't you name the mass location and see if other mass-goers there can corroborate your claim?
No need.  I know what I saw.

That is what I thought at first, but then noticed who was head altar server, and a mistake is unlikely.  No kneeling, no bowing.  Yes breast striking.
