The CSM Singers frequently perform at major sporting events throughout the city, and in 2017 they were selected to sing the National Anthem at the start of the Omaha Women's March. In 2019, the group was invited to perform Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower Song) as a headline for the Nebraska Chinese Association New Year Gala, one of the largest Chinese New Year galas in the Midwest.
