Membership
Today’s choir consists of boys aged 8 to 13+ years, all of whom have treble voices. Membership is open to boys from all primary and intermediate schools in the Auckland metropolitan area. Entry is by way of attendance at a full rehearsal followed by an audition with the Director of Music.
Boys accepted into the Choir start as probationers and are promoted to full choristers when:
- The boy shows he is taking a full part in the Choir
- He is committed to singing and the learning of words
