Noticed them on the news for being in a contest. Had different flashes on their berets. I would think they would be in Band company. USMA singers are part of the USMA band* and Sea Chanters part of the Navy band, so I wonder.
*Have a MSG that has a beautiful voice.

They're most likely Borrowed Military Manpower from across the division on a tasking.

Although the official designation is "82d Airborne Division Band", they are fully known as the "82d Airborne Division 'All-American' Band & Chorus" since late 2016.

Serving in the Chorus is a two-year special duty assignment if selected (they hold auditions several times a year). The chorus has a authorized strength of 30 individuals.

So why the different flashes? Looks as if they would wear the same one.

MAJ Ronnie Reams - All the units of the 82d have their own flash. Since the Soldiers are on a special duty assignment with the chorus, I assume they were the flash of their unit they are permanently assigned to.

MAJ Ronnie Reams sir, they are BMM so they maintain their flash and crest of their assigned unit within the 82nd.

Is the 82nd Airborne Division Choir a TDA unit or is it a part of the Band?

The Band does have TOE authorizations and is assigned to the "All American Brigade" comprised of separate battalions and companies under the 82nd Airborne Division. Patch Chart (U) attached for reference of the various units from where Soldiers are selected (auditioned), hence the various flashes represented on their berets.
