The competition is open to highly qualified musicians in grades 9-12. One winner will be chosen from each division, Strings Division and Winds/Brass/Percussion Division. Applications are due by February 7, 2021.
Students decided on costume themes with their orchestra class family groups for a virtual Halloween costume competition. Groups shared their spooky creations with the rest of the orchestra, and below are some fan favorites. Special thanks to Ulaina Ahn for managing the competition and compiling the photos!
Favorite memory: The Toronto trip!! What I loved about this trip was how bonded I felt to my orchestra family and that unexpected things kept happening. Whether it be the historically icy spring (even by Canada standards) or the busses breaking down at night I loved this trip. While this may not be everyone’s favorite part… I personally love how I got to spend a few more hours with my friends at 4am (because of the bus situation) and then go back to school the same day for Evita rehearsal.
What I love about LHS orchestra: I love Langley Orchestra because I get to make beautiful music with some of my best friends and explore different cultures/time periods through music. I love how Doc challenges us to play ambitious material while at the same time making it a fun experience rather than stressful.
Words of wisdom: Join pit orchestra. You won’t regret it.
