Langley Orchestra is excited to welcome all string students to the upcoming 2026-2027 school year!
Langley’s orchestra program is comprised of five classes that rehearse separately (Freshman Orchestra, Sophomore Orchestra, Junior Advanced Orchestra, Senior Advanced Orchestra, and audition-only Philharmonic) but often combine into three orchestras for concerts, assemblies, and assessments (Concert Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra, and Philharmonic Orchestra). Advanced Orchestra at Langley High School includes Juniors, Seniors & Philharmonic classes and an honors weighting (+0.5) is added to Advanced Orchestra classes.
New string students coming to Langley High School are automatically placed into their grade-level class. If new students wish to be considered for advanced placement, section seating, or Philharmonic class, they are required to submit an audition by video. The audition will comprise one scale of the student’s choosing (number of octaves and difficulty will be considered – 3 octaves required for Philharmonic) and a short excerpt of a solo piece (1-2 min) that demonstrates the student’s technical abilities. There is no need for special equipment – a video from a smartphone, tablet, or school laptop works fine and piano accompaniment is not necessary. Please be sure to introduce yourself at the beginning of your video!
2027-2028 New Student Audition Information will be updated in March 2027.
