The choristers are residents of Dorchester, Mattapan and Quincy, neighboring Boston boroughs, as well as surrounding towns. They are joined each Sunday by professional and volunteer singers from around the region. Ethnic diversity is a celebrated hallmark of the choir. Most children come to the choir without any singing experience. An interest in music and receptivity to learning are the only requirements for admission. The choristers rehearse twice a week from September through early June, singing nearly all the choral services at The Parish of All Saints. Music education is the backbone of the Ashmont choir experience for children, and fluent musical literacy is a bragging right of all long-standing choristers.

In addition, the children learn the value of self-mastery, goal-setting, upholding standards of decorum, and service. And as professional musicians, they receive a monetary stipend.

During the summer, a week-long Choir Camp in the Adirondacks is also available to the choristers. The choir program is completely free of charge: the only cost is the family's commitment of time.
