Chapel choir

Is anyone in the chapel choir? Or auditioning for it? What's the standard like, because I'm not a singer (never had singing lessons) but having a go anyway...!

It's of an extremely high standard, it's exclusively choral scholars and it's pretty small. Most of its members have been choristers all their lives and a high number are music students. If you've never even had singing lessons I really wouldn't bother, the sight-reading tests are pretty thorough.

I know 2 people in it in their 1st year studying music (both were at my school). Both ex-choristers, both in a hardcore chapel choir for 5 years afterwards, and obviously both studying music. One was also offered a choral scholarship at Oxford.

Is there a general choir for people who are ok(ish) at sing/are ex-choristers? I heard there is a UoL one??

There's a Gospel choir but they seem quite down with the Jesus-mongering, so no to them!

I've heard there's a UofL choir too, but I've never researched it. I probably should.
