Medals
Each chorister is awarded an Auckland Boys’ Choir medal after a year as a probationer. At this point, the boys become full choristers.
Medals are worn during performances, with Uniforms 1 and 2.
Different coloured ribbons signify each boy’s position in the choir – most choristers have a blue ribbon. Section Leaders have a red ribbon, the Deputy Head Chorister has a silver ribbon and the Head Chorister a gold ribbon.
