Langley Band Performs in Italy

The Langley High School Band recently returned from a spectacular one-week trip to Italy that included visits to Pisa, Siena, and Vatican City, and performances in Florence and Rome. In Florence, the Band performed at one of the oldest churches in Florence, the Auditorium of Santo Stefano al Ponte. The next day, the band performed in Rome at the 17th century baroque Oratorio del Caravita, where Mozart performed in 1770. In both venues, the band played pieces by Italian composers Delle Cese, Albinoni, Respighi, Puccini, and Vecchi, to large and appreciative audiences. The trip was a remarkable educational and cultural experience for the students, filled with memories that will last a lifetime.
