Yerachmiel Begun puts huge responsibilities on these kids which can actually teach them a lot. They can get kicked out quite easily and they know they have to keep to a certain standard. Yes, there may be some kids who go lower in their frumkeit but it depends on the kid and their original strength in their yiddishkeit. Kids who are strong enough won’t go lower because they go into a choir. I know of one kid in particular that’s still yeshivish and the whole choir thing is way past him. That’s just one kid I know of but I’m sure there are more. You can’t make a generalization that kids in the choir go lower in their yiddishkeit and you can’t say the other way around either. There are all different types of kids in the choir to begin with.
