The Marquand Chapel Choir and the Marquand Gospel and Inspirational Choir (MaGIC) are active student organizations under the supervision of faculty members of the Institute of Sacred Music. The choirs offer various genres of sacred music and support congregational singing at weekly services. Members of the Chapel Choir, led by ISM student conductors, are selected in early September, with auditions for voice placement. MaGIC is led by Mark Miller, lecturer in the Institute of Sacred Music; this choir requires no audition. Both choirs may be taken for credit (REL 801 and REL 802).

In addition, the YBS Gospel Choir, led by YDS students, upholds the lineage and rich heritage of the Black gospel music tradition, performing spirit-filled songs of praise at Marquand Chapel services, YBS Vespers services, and special events. The YBS Gospel Choir requires no audition, and students do not receive course credit for participation. All are welcome to contribute their musical talents.
