I'm working on a piece for choir and concert band What should be
the score order relationship of the choir to the band? Choir at the

There must be a precedent for this, but I don't know what it is.

The precedent is orchestral practice, which usually places either
vocal soloists or chorus above the strings in modern publications,
which is also where an instrumental solo part would be placed.
In my own band/chorus scores I lay the page out:
Woodwinds
Chorus
Brass
Percussion
for no particular reason and with no particular precedent except that
it works well for me.
