Dear Parents, Students, Guardians and Friends:

Welcome to one of the most exciting, innovative and rewarding educational ventures our schools have to offer...the nationally-known Langley H.S. Bands!

Recent statistics prove that young people who participate in music are among the academically strongest in their schools. They also have higher SAT score averages than their fellow classmates. Their adult lives are filled with the success which is a direct result of their band experience: self-discipline, group cooperation, high self-esteem, understanding teamwork, developing a sense of persistence and performance confidence. The Langley Bands will provide this foundation for every student musician in the program.

As each student musician progresses in his/her understanding and command of the instrument, one will see how this same desire for excellence applies to every subject in school and serves as a training ground for dealing with many aspects of adult life.

The opportunity to enjoy a new level of communication and self-expression is the goal for every musician. Creativity is within all of us, and the language of music serves as a perfect vehicle to allow this personal growth and development.

For each student and parent, the chance to become involved in the Langley bands is a bonus. We all know the importance of supporting our children in whatever they choose in life. We are all encouraged to work together in this exciting learning process and become involved. Much can be said with music that is impossible to say with words.

Welcome to the Langley HS Band Program. You can find out tons of information on this official website. Don't miss your opportunity to be a part of one of the most exciting and innovative band programs in Fairfax County!

Musically yours,

Andrew Gekoskie
Langley HS Director of Bands
Music Department Chair
