Catholic High School Band was established in 1982 under the patronage of Bro. Paul Sung - the 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 of band members, music instruments, and modern 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 band members themselves, the music standard has improved vastly.
CHS Band's first concert 'An Evening of Music' was a joint effort with the Raffeles Institution Symphonic Band of Singapore in 1991. Her own concert - 'An Evening of Music 193' 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 to take part in the National High School MArching Band Competition, and won the third place - a feat that had certainly brought tremendous pride to Selangor.
CHS Band's fame in the competition aided it further in being selected to take part in the 16th Commonwealth Games performance in both the opening and closing ceremony along other well known school bands such a Vivikananda, Assunta and Tun Fatimah.
Another wonderful achievement made by the band was a joint concert with Fo Ho Junior High School of Taipei - renowned as the best school band in Taipei. The joint concert, which was held on the 13th of Febuary 1999, was indeed a great success.
CHS Band been invited and requested to hold numerous performances since its birth, for example the National Day Parades, Teachers' Awards Ceremony of Selangor. Sultan's Birthday Parade various opening ceremonies and much more, but the greatest achievement was to be declared champion in the 2000 National High School Marching Band Competition - Selangor's greatest pride ever.
Currently at the age of 22, 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 aim for the best.
