Choir
I'm translating a text for a chamber which is carrying out auditions for singers not to be permament members of teh choir but to be on call for specific productions and performances. I'm not sure what the best term is for "refuerzos". "Reinforcements" sounds a bit to military, "back up singers" sounds confusngly like "backing singers". Does anyone have any better ideas? Is there a specific term for these sorts of people?
Thanks
