Pssst, nice tune!

This tune (Colonel Bogey March) brings back fond memories of the Penang Free School (PFS) band's rendition of this tune during School Sports Day. It was played solely on flutes while the band marched past the VIPs and parents, majestically with their proud bandmaster, colours and impeccable laurels to match. Those were the glory days of PFS and its stature as one of the premier schools in the country! Hey, what do you know? It is something like the theme of the movie 'The Bridge of River Kwai'. Living on the pride of our institution!

A snippet (Colonel Bogey March) from the 1957 film that won 7 Oscars, including Best Music Score—though there was hardly any music in the movie!—'The Bridge over River Kwai,' which showcases the pride of the British Army. This isn't the kind of film that my wife or children would enjoy—there are no fancy clothes, no promiscuity, no lovey-dovey dialogues, and no provocative flashing of flesh! Here’s a bit of trivia for you... (from Wikipedia)

According to Turner Classic Movies, the producers nearly suffered a catastrophe following the filming of the bridge explosion. To ensure they captured the one-time event, multiple cameras from several angles were used. The film was shipped to London by air freight for processing. When the shipment failed to arrive, a worldwide search for the film was undertaken. To the producers' horror the film containers were found a week later on an airport tarmac in Cairo, sitting in the broiling Egyptian sun. Though it was not exposed to sunlight, the heat-sensitive color film stock should have been hopelessly ruined. However, when processed the shots were perfect and appeared in the film.
