About Us

Catholic High School Band was established in 1982 under the patronage of Rev. Bro.
Paul Sung, a former principal of CHS. This young and talented band started off as a
marching band with 30 members, with Mr. Xavier Anthony as the first band tutor.

For many years the band has worked hard and developed tremendously, with a steady
increase in band members, musical instruments and better facilities, courtesy of the
generous donations of the public, as well as the PTA of Catholic High School.

Under the guidance of Mr. Chin Ying Soong (1991) and Mr. Eric Lee (1992 - today),
who both are former CHS Band members themselves, the music quality and standard
has improved vastly.

CHS Band's first concert in 1991, 'An Evening of Music', was a joint effort with the
Raffles Institution Symphonic Band of Singapore. Her own concert, 'An Evening of
Music 1993' was held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band. The third
successive CHS Band concert - 'An Evening of Music' was held in conjunction with
Catholic High School's 40th anniversary. The fourth concert - 'An Evening of Music
1999' was held in order to bring the band to the greater music level, followed by the
fifth concert - 'An Evening of Music 2001'.

Later in 1997, CHS Band was selected to represent the state of Selangor in the
National Secondary Schools Marching Band Competition. It won the third place - a
feat that had certainly brought tremendous pride to Selangor.

The reputation gained from the competition aided it further in getting selected for
performances during the 16th Commonwealth Games along with other school bands
such as the Vivikananda, Assunta and Tun Fatimah bands.

Another achievement of note was the joint concert with Fo Ho Junior High School of
Taipei, which was renowned as the best school band in Taipei. The joint concert,
which was held on 13th Febuary 1999, was indeed a great success.

CHS Band has constantly been invited and selected to participate in numerous
performances and events every year since its inception, such as the National Day
parades, the Selangor Teachers Excellent Service Awards, the Sultan's Birthday
Parade, to name a few. The greatest achievement of the Band thus far has been
becoming Champion in the Malaysian National High School Marching Band
Competition twice, once in the year 2000 and another in 2005 - Selangor's greatest
pride ever. CHS Band is now undoubtedly one of the best school bands in the
country.

Currently at the age of 37, the Catholic High School Band is still blossoming with
each passing year. The band has come a long way, bracing itself for a higher standard,
striving for greater success and in years to come, CHS Band will only continue to aim
for the best.
