So very well sung, gentlemen! The writer of this time-honored hymn, Kenneth Brown Billups, was my teacher, mentor, and friend. He would be so pleased with your performance. He died over thirty years ago, but this brings him very close to me, today. Thank you.
O noble Kappa Alpha Psi, The Pride of all our hearts. True manliness, fidelity, Thou ever dost impart. The source of our delights and joys, And happiness thou art, O noble Kappa Alpha Psi, From thee we'll never part. O noble Kappa Alpha Psi, From thee we'll never part.
To me it sounds like this rendition is exactly how the Kappa Alpha Psi Hymn is written as sheet music. Beautiful work! I believe the Conductor and his Kappa Khoir should create a formal recording and it should be used as the newest version of the hymn.

When all our student days are done, And we from school must go. Still we will honor, love and sing Thy praises o'er and o'er. We'll live for thee, we'll strive for thee, We'll all thy ways adore, we'll long for thee and toil until we reach that Golden Shore. We'll long for thee and toil until we reach that Golden Shore
Now in the days of happiness, Of pleasure and good cheer. I lift a cup of joy and health, To every member here. To those who loved and toiled and strove, For thee in other years. I give full honor and revere, Our noble Brothers dear. I give full honor and revere, Our noble Brothers dear.
You can tell the decades these hymns came from when people were classically trained in music and instruments and dignity in the face of horrific racial bigotry was law. Much honor to Kappa from the "other 1911"
