Parameters explained

Parameter	Explanation
`name`	Name (defaults to page name)
`image`	Insert image name. Use only the file name such as `abc.jpg`, `xyz.png`, `123.gif`, etc. Do not use syntax such as ~~`[[File:abc.jpg]]`~~ or ~~`[[File:abc.jpg\|200px]]`~~
`image_size`	This parameter should only be used if it is necessary to overrule viewers' default thumb size preferences.
`caption`	Insert a caption for the image. If known, try to include the location and date of photo.
`origin`	Home performance location of choir. For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes^[1] for location details.
`founding`	Date choir started performing; use {{Start date}} if after 1583.
`disbanding`	Date choir disbanded; use {{End date}} if after 1583.
`genre`	Music genre
`members`	Number of members in choir
`music director`	Name of music director
`awards`	Insert any other awards won. Use the same format as `academyawards`.
`label`	Insert the record labels the choir was signed to.
`website`	Insert the choir's official website.

Notes

^ As per RfC "Naming countries in infoboxes": When identifying a location, city or region in the United States or United Kingdom, the preferred approach is to use the country abbreviations allowed by MOS:ACRO, such as "Portsmouth, New Hampshire, U.S." and "Cardiff, Wales, UK", rather than spelling out the full country name. Avoid using abbreviations for states or provinces in all nations. New Hampshire rather than NH, New South Wales rather than NSW, or British Columbia rather than BC (see MOS:POSTABBR). Cities such as New York City and London may be rendered as "New York City, U.S." and "London, UK" or simply "New York City" and "London". Also, these should not be linked when the context makes it clear (see MOS:OVERLINK). If only the country name is included, it may be written out in full.

Microformat

The HTML mark-up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat that makes an organization's details readily parsable by computer programs. This aids tasks such as the cataloguing of articles and maintenance of databases. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please visit the Microformat WikiProject.

Subtemplates

Use {{Start date and age}} for the date on which an organisation was "established", "founded", "opened" or otherwise started, unless that date is before 1583 CE.
Use {{URL}} for an organisation's URL.

Please do not remove instances of these subtemplates.
