Structure
Preparatory Choir - for very young choristers who are usually 6 or 7 years old (1st and 2nd graders). This level introduces music to the child and focuses on in-tune singing skills and building basic rhythmic skills. Except for two major Concerts, this Choir performs independently from the older choirs.
Intermediate Choir - for choristers who have completed Preparatory Choir training. Choristers in this choir are usually 8 to 10 years old (grades 3 to 5). The Intermediate Choir participates in local performances and tour locally, normally within Southern California.
Concert Choir - for choristers with more developed voices who are usually 11 to 14 years old (middle school grades 6 to 9). At this age that choristers begin touring nationally and internationally.
Youth Choir - for advanced singers, normally consisting of high school choristers. Girls progress to the Youth Choir when they enter the tenth grade. Boys progress to the Youth Choir also in the tenth grade unless their voice changes earlier.

And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
