Excellent reasoning!  I just love what we all come up with to justify 
any possible mistakes on JKR's part.

However, in GoF, the two other schools did not arrive until the end of 
October.  Maybe, though, we could say that since the Triwizard 
Tournament was on Dumbledore's mind, he forgot to lead the school into 
their individual delightful renditions of the Hogwarts song.  :-)
