My husband and I met in middle school chorus, were partners in a high school select madrigal group, and have sung with a choral group since 1981. I did the same thing before auditioning - I took voice lessons to be in tip top shape because it was 18-20 members by audition only. The choral group we've sung with since graduating high school is run by the director who I contracted for voice lessons (The New Ark Chorale). Our website needs major work, but you can hear a bit of our work at http://newarkchorale.org/about-us.html. Hubby is the guy with the beard back row left, and I'm front row left with the shiny blue top.
As far as other music activities, we also sing in church choir, play handbells.
Don't know if you're familiar with Robert Bernosky (trumper extraordinair who ran as Republican for CA secretary of State). He performed with us in high school mads - not in the main group, but as one of our organizers, bell ringer, actor, and chorus member. A decent guy f you can avoid talking politics with him. 
I'm sure you'll do great with the lessons and the audition! Keep us posted and if they do anything online or they stream, please share the URL!
