The choir are simply a group of boys who arrive at the platform led by Jack Merridew. When Ralph wins the vote to be leader he reaffirms Jack's control of the choir and asks Jack what function he would like them to perform, Jack replies 'Hunters.' So on the surface that is all there is to the choir, they are a group of bboys who Jack names as his hunters. However the choir serve a deeper purpose. When they arrive, although it is sunny and hot they remain standing on the beach, as Jack has ordered, despite their obvious desire to go and sit in the shade. This incident is evidence of their obedience to Jack, this obedience is reaffirmed when Jack is appointed as leader of the hunters. When Jack began his strategy of trying to undermine Ralph's leadership and install himself as leader he already had a ready made band of followers conditioned to obey his orders and ready to serve him.
When Ralph asked Jack, in chapter 1, what he would like the choir to be Jack answered, 'Hunters.' Later, in chapter 2, Jack also said that the choir would accept the responsibilty of tending to the signal fire.
