Yes.
Jack is the only choir boy
When Jack and his choir first marched down the beach they stopped close to the platform and Jack, alone, vaulted onto the platform to speak to Ralph. When Ralph explained that they were having a meeting and said, "Come and join in." The choir began to scatter from close line. Jack shouted, "Choir! Stand still!" The choir obeyed.
When Ralph is initially elected leader he confirms that the choir still belongs to Jack. Jack says that he wants his choir to be hunters, to supply the boys with meat by hunting pigs. After they light a signal fire on the mountain Jack says that his hunters will take on the responsibility for keeping the fire lit.
Jack has taken on the responsibility of leading and conducting the choir during their performances and practices. He is also responsible for organizing rehearsals, selecting music pieces, and ensuring that the choir members are prepared and on schedule.
When Jack emerges with the choir, he is described as a commanding figure with an air of authority. The choir follows him in an organized manner, displaying discipline and military precision. This scene sets the tone for Jack's leadership style and establishes his dominance over the boys.
The choir wear shorts and shirts, a box shaped black hat with a silver badge (Jack's badge is gold as he is the choir leader). They also wear a long black cloak, which has a silver cross on the breast and a ruff around the neck.
Jack and the choir boys.
Jack initially uses an authoritarian approach with the choir, imposing discipline and order. However, as the story progresses, his treatment of the choir becomes more manipulative and intimidating as he seeks to exert control and power over them.
