context_section_description: Both groups -the Chamber Choir (occasionally with the alumni choir). Olde Boys and the Preparatory Choir- have performed in a number of venues in Texas, including the Opera House at The Rebecca and John J. Moores School of Music, and various churches; the Chamber Boychoir also has performed internationally.
  Among the best known annual performances of the Preparatory Boychoir in Houston, "The Candlelight Evening", nearing Christmas, takes place at the Sam Houston Park, where, in the historic St. John Church built in 1891, the boys wear a more traditional choir attire. December 2010 marked the 48th year of the Houston Heritage Society's Candlelight Evening, event in which the boy choir has participated since its inauguration.
  Another annual event is known as the 'Winter Concert' which takes place at St. Martins Episcopal church of Houston. In May 16, 2011, at the Moores Opera House, the Houston Boychoir performed for the 56th consecutive year their 'Spring Concert'. Among other performances, the Prep-Boychoir has travelled to Austin, Texas to perform next to the Austin Choir, and in January 2011, the Houston Boychoir and the American Boychoir performed at Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Houston; the Directors of both choirs were interviewed on KUHF fm radio, which has broadcast live performances of the singing boys. The choir performed as a special guest with the Houston Bach Society in April 2011
  The Houston Boychoir has sung the "Star Spangled Banner" at several Astros games. They have also done the same at a few Rocket and Dynamo games.
