The last time I tried to mic these choirs I had huge problems with vocal levels and feedback. Non[e] of the choirs are professional and some members do not project very well. |

The kit I have at my disposal for this is... 3 SM57s, 3 SM58s and 3 PG81s... |

[T]hese will be going into a Roland V-mixer M400 so I do have some EQ control and can add compression if needed. |

One situation is where I used one of them, behind the mains about 10 feet, to mic an entire drum kit, and was able to get "rock toms" in the mains with no issue. |

Loudest sound at the mic wins. |

Mike.... Given that the weak link in the chain is the initial volume level of the choir, be prepared to explain this: Loudest sound at the mic wins. This is just physics. If the microphones "hear" the sound system over the choir it just won't work. Trying to boost them will only result in feedback. So regardless of which mics you use the make/break factors are: 1. Choir volume/projection. 2. Mic placement in relation to the choir AND in relation to the speakers. |

The stage size is 4 x 3 m so I may get away with only using one or 2 mics plus extra for soloists. |
