i'm a TCHS old boy who went to the University of Kansas... so surprised that the school song was the same!! (The words of the Kansas school song are very similar to the Cornell song you see here)
When I was in Chinese High in the 80s, no one told us that the music was not original. Internet didn't even exist, there was no way we could know the information that you posted here.
So, imagine a bunch of Chinese High boys dating a bunch of Nanyang Girls' girls, and went watching "Dirty Dancing" in school uniforms. That was me. LOL. Totally embarassing! But anyway, thanks for the video. Really brought back lots of memories. Wish I could go back to visit the school again someday.
i remember the cymbals dude would sometimes flare his cymbals and make it sound awesomer. and then every wednesday or something we'd say the pledge in chinese.
i made this clip with apple keynote; research and data was gathered from 2002-2006. it took 12 more hours to get it into a video format free of errors.
the annotations ("speech balloons") - that's a new feature of YouTube. you can now make annotations to any video you upload - check it out!
omg... i can still remembering the morning assembly even after more than a decade... wonder where's Mr Too fee shan now. (hope i spelt his name correctly) :s

very very comprehensive ! I've always wondered if anybody remembers that the tune appeared in 'Dirty Dancing' too.
Like to find out how the author creates this clip ? with what software with the speech ballons ?

now the band tries to play the school song interestingly. it's very cool. the melody is played slightly differently every week haha.
didnt know it was from an english song. O: when i first heard it from my brother i found it extremely patriotic and chinese. haha.
<3 the school song! <3 hc!
