band: Look for the Langley Marching Band at Langley's opening football game this Friday! At the game, band members will ask for your support for Tag Day - the band's biggest fundraiser. Langley's bands perform throughout the year at home football games, concerts, competitions, and other community and school events. Your gift enables them to purchase uniforms, music, instruments, and professional clinicians. Please consider a donation at Friday's game. 100% of the money collected goes directly to benefit the students! Thank you, LHS Athletic Boosters for giving the band this opportunity at Friday's game!

You can also donate directly to the LHS Band by going to our website: langleyband.org.

orchestra: You can enjoy live music while orchestra students make your car squeaky clean!  On Sat, Sept 20 from 9am - 4pm, the orchestra invites the Langley community to their car wash at the McLean BP station, 1423 Chain Bridge Rd. LHS Orchestra appreciates your support.

orchestra parents: Please come to the spring trip parent meeting on Mon, Sept 22 at 7:30 pm in the Library.  Find out about the exciting plans for our March trip to New York City and the orchestra's performance at Carnegie Hall.

chorus: Langley Choral students kicked off the school year with a return of our successful coffee sale. This annual fundraiser features items from Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company, a local coffee company located in Crofton, Md (www.cbrccoffee.com). Students are selling an assortment of coffees, teas, and cocoas from Sept 5 through Oct 10 to earn money for their travel expenses to San Antonio. There they will compete in the Heritage Music Festival. Your orders will be available in time for the holiday season! To order, contact any Langley choral student or coffee sale coordinator Ana Kreutzer at <aok1348@yahoo.com> before Oct 10.

The Choral Guild is also selling personalized Langley license plate frames, and chances to win a SAT Success Course or three 1-hour tutoring sessions from Georgetown Learning Centers. Proceeds from these fundraisers go directly to the Guild, which provides financial and administrative support to the award-winning LHS Chorus. For info on the license plates, contact Rhonda Salem at <Rhonda.salem@fcps.edu>. For other info, contact Christina Daly, <markdaly3@verizon.net>.

The Langley Choirs will hold a car wash on Sat, Sept 20 at the Sunoco at the intersection of Old Dominion Dr and Spring Hill Rd. The car wash begins at 9 am and wraps up at 3 pm. Please come out to support the Langley choirs.

A special shout-out to Girls Volleyball Head Coach Susan Shifflett on winning her 300th career match on Sept 9!

Our Langley Saxons football team has their home season opener this Friday night. It's a Black Out, so dress in black and come cheer on the team as they take on T.C. Williams at 7:30pm.  C2 Education, Langley's educational partner and platinum sponsor, is sponsoring this week's game. They will be giving away black thundersticks at the game in recognition of the Black Out. C2 is offering a special discount rate on their tutoring program for Langley students to prepare for the SATs. They'll also donate back $99 to Langley Athletic Boosters for each enrollment at their McLean location. Click here for more info: c2mclean.com/c2-sat-prep-program

And while you're at the game, check out the latest food offerings: PF Chang's lettuce wraps and fried rice available at the concession stand!

To increase exposure for our generous advertisers and sponsors, we will now print customized programs for each home football game. Both the Langley and visiting team varsity rosters will be printed inside each game's programs. Watch for our covers to change with each game!  Be sure to pick up one or more of these keepsake programs. The price will remain $2 each, sold at the gate for all Varsity games. Only a limited edition of each program will be printed, so you can order yours in advance through your team parent or booster rep. Paper rosters will be handed out at Freshman and JV football games, and programs will be sold at the concession stand.

Saxon Spirit yard signs are in and available for pick up in the main concession stand during the following days/times:

Thurs 9/18:  2:30 - 3:30 pm
