Langley High School is delighted to announce our new Band Director, Mr. Doug Martin. Mr.
Martin comes to Langley High School with a tremendous amount of experience. He has been a
Band Director with FCPS for fourteen years. Throughout those fourteen years of experience, Mr.
Martin has raised performance levels for all students, increase enrollment in band classes, and has
won numerous recognitions. As a FCPS graduate, Mr. Martin is very familiar with the Langley
community. He is eager to meet the students and parents and begin working on the future of the
Langley Band program.
However, as we prepare for Mr. Martin to join our Langley community, we are respecting his needs
to finish this school year at his current school. Mr. Hilkert will remain here at Langley until the end
of the 2011-12 school year, continuing to teach and prepare students for their musical future. As we
progress through the school year, Mr. Martin might be reaching out to students and parents to begin
planning for the 2012-13 school year.

Important Band News and Updates |
IMPORTANT NEWS AND EVENTS
Please note that the information on this website is in the process of being updated. Until further notice, please disregard any information not on the front page or on the LHS Band Association page.
1. Updates
Adam Hilkert, the new interim Band Director, arrived on May 4, 2012. Mr. Hilkert and the administration are working on the band schedule for the remainder of the year. As this schedule is being finalized, here are a few important announcements:
1. Wind Symphony rehearsals on Wednesday night are canceled.
2. The Band is not presently scheduled to play at Graduation
3. The date of the final concert is moved to Tuesday, June 5th at Langley High School, the same night as the Band Banquet and Senior Recognition. The festivities will likely begin at 5:45 pm and the concert will follow at 7 pm. The general membership meeting of the Band Association is also moved to that date.
2. Band Dues
The band dues to the band association ($295 plus $5 for the marching band hat) were due in the fall. Presently, we have collected dues from just over half of the students. That means our budget is in peril because we are lacking almost half the dues we expected. Without the expected funds, we will be forced to make serious cutbacks in our program support. Please make sure you've contributed your dues. Checks should be made payable to Langley Band Association and mailed to P.O. Box 7741, McLean, VA 22106. If you have any questions, or are having difficulty with this payment, please contact our treasurer, Trish Barber at Tbarber@3waysdigital.com. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
