Congratulations to all three Langley Orchestras as well as Cooper’s Symphonic Orchestra for a fabulous concert Tuesday evening. Bridging Cooper and Langley Orchestras, the concert served as a “dress rehearsal” of sorts for the upcoming Assessments taking place on March 5th (Langley) and March 12th (Cooper). Special thanks to all of the volunteers, both parents and students, who helped make Tuesday’s concert day a great success. The concert program can also be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

The concert was video-recorded, and the link will be made available via Schoology and newsletter in the coming days to our orchestra students and families. Photos are being uploaded by several volunteer photographers to our Shutterfly site; look for those in the coming days as well. Special thanks to Rania Razek, who took the following fabulous senior photo after the concert:

We hope some of our orchestra community will come cheer on the Symphonic and Philharmonic Orchestras at Assessments on Saturday, March 5th at Marshall HS. Symphonic will perform at approximately 10:00 am, and Philharmonic will perform at approximately 4:00 pm. Students are working hard to be fully prepared — and please be sure to have full concert attire for assessments.

And it’s not too early to think about spring and put Saturday, April 23rd for the Spring Car Wash on your calendar (at the BP in McLean, corner of Old Dominion & Chain Bridge Roads).

Our Pre-Assessment Concert is around the corner, set for Tuesday, February 15th. A few reminders.

First, students are required to stay after school for rehearsal. The rehearsal schedule is as follows:

Please also sign up to assist with bringing food for our hospitality tables at the SignUp Genius here. As of February 9, we are particularly in need of savory treat donations such as cheese and crackers. Thanks for helping to keep our hungry students and families fed and happy!

We will have boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts for sale beginning at 3:25 pm on concert day (until they are sold out). Pre-orders for coffee can be placed by Thursday, February 10th for $14 per bag (order form and info is here), or limited quantities can be purchased on concert day for $15 per bag.

Please note that students must wear full formalwear; Tuesday’s concert serves literally as a dress rehearsal for assessments. Assessments will take place on Saturday, March 5th at Marshall HS. Symphonic Orchestra students must arrive by 9:15 am and should wrap up around 10:50 am; Philharmonic Orchestra students must arrive by 3:25 pm and should wrap up around 5:00 pm. Formalwear is required and will factor into our ratings so please be sure to have all parts of your formalwear.

Tuesday’s concert will be recorded and a link will be provided to students and families approximately 1 week later.
