Senior Spotlights: Anh-Thu Pham & Kacy Lee
Anh-Thu Pham (violin):
Favorite memory: I love the community. The students are friendly with shared passions, the parents are organized, and the teachers love what they do. Everyone gives their all in the activities, whether it be playing, washing cars, or fake-laughing at Doc’s jokes.
What I love about LHS Orchestra: I love the people you meet and the friends you make because you know that on some level you have a common love of music. Specifically at Langley, there are so many people who are passionate about music and orchestra and meeting them is so inspiring as both a musician and person.
Words of wisdom: Go on all the trips you can because you never know when you might not be able to.
Kacy Lee (viola):
Favorite memory: The Austria-Hungary trip. 🙂 Austrian food is on another level.
What I love about LHS Orchestra: The orchestra is one of the biggest and best communities out there, and a good amount of my friends are a part of the orchestra. The class itself is also a great breather in the midst of my other classes.
Words of wisdom: Orchestra during a pandemic is rough 🙁 Don’t worry, with due time everything will (hopefully) return to the way it was before, in all its glory, with events that have everyone together, and the overnight trips that normally happen in the spring will make its comeback!

Heroes Concert Success
Congratulations to Doc and all three orchestras for great performances Tuesday evening at our Heroes concert! After rehearsals, students who opted into the preconcert dinner enjoyed “heroes” and time mingling with friends. Thanks to Hospitality Co-Chairs Amy Prewett & Nina Chee, and to all the volunteers who donated their time and food. For those who missed it this week, be sure to get your Krispy Kreme donuts on the next concert day starting at 3:25 pm in Langley Hall as our Donuts Fundraising Chair Laura Cian sold out of donuts quickly. Our Coffee Fundraising Chair Calli Harris also sold out of coffee and will be taking coffee pre-orders soon for delivery at our next concert.
The Heroes concert video will be made available to our orchestra students and families early next week via a link in Schoology and our e-newsletter. In the meantime, enjoy photos taken by our amazing Concert Photographer Rania Razek and assistant photographers Mike & Jen Dzwonczyk. Visit our Shutterfly page at langleyorchestra.shutterfly.com to see all 5 folders of photos, including photos from the concert, afternoon rehearsals, and casual photos in Langley Hall.
