Suds, Smiles & Strings: Langley Orchestra’s 2026 Fall Car Wash!

On Saturday, September 19th, the Langley Orchestra ran the 2026 Fall Car Wash at the McLean BP. Thank you to everyone in the Langley HS and McLean community who had their cars washed or donated while driving by. The funds raised will be designated to sheet music rentals, sectionals coaches, concert programs and recordings, upcoming performances, and creating memorable experiences for each and every student on their musical journey. Special thanks to student manager Kylie Guo and parent coordinator Raj Rana for leading this successful fundraiser, along with all the student and parent volunteers who dedicated their day to washing and promoting.

For the first time in Langley Orchestra history, violinist Gemma Shi and cellist Alexander Frey played live music to encourage passing vehicles toward the event.

In the afternoon, it was a pleasure to have Assistant Principal Sykes make a guest appearance. Thank you so much for coming and supporting our music.

Striking a Chord: Langley Orchestra Welcomes the Class of 2030 at Annual Potluck Picnic

On August 23rd, the Langley Orchestra kicked off the school year with the annual potluck picnic! The gathering was a great way to welcome the Class of 2030! Thank you to everyone who attended and brought dishes and desserts to share. Special thanks to LOS President Kanchana Marapana, the LOS Board of Directors, and our many volunteers for organizing this event. 

As per tradition, each grade competed in the annual Flickin’ Chickens contest. It was a close match, but in the end, the Senior class secured victory and extended their win streak to three years!

Although the school year is just beginning, SRO and DHO auditions are right around the corner! For the students who are planning to audition, make sure to check out excerpts and scales in the “Students” tab of the Orchestra website. Happy practicing!
