You are starting a \score block. Among the things a \score block can 
contain are

- a music expression
- a \layout block
- a \midi block

Here begins your music expression, which is \new ChoirStaff << lots of 
stuff >>.

Here ends \new ChoirStaff << lots of stuff >>, i.e. the music expression 
in the \score block.

That was your \midi block. And just where I am writing this comment, 
after the end of the \midi block and before the closing brace of the 
\score block, you add the code :

\layout { }
