Well...I am not familiar with the Blondies...(just the Band and the Comic strip) but if they are omnis you cannot use them for x/y or ORTF,,,both those formats require Cardioid mics. Your best bet may be a pair of spaced omnis.
Tho: I have used omnis on choirs, but I did not like them. After many years of recording I have found that SATB mic'ing is what works best for me.

How many sections in your choir? I would suggest getting a large diaphragm mic for each section and mounting them on heavy stands w/ shock mounts.
Can they be borrowed?

I would absolutely mic the room for ambience and crowd reacts.

Use SM 57's w/ windscreens for your soloists.

Kick-SM58, Snare- SM57, OH--maybe a blondie or 2?
