Good Standing
Rehearsals are at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings at the St. Andrew’s 20955 Old Yale Rd, Langley, BC V3A unless otherwise noted. As a courtesy to other members and to our Music Director, please be punctual as it is important to participate in the warm-up.
Please turn off beepers and cell phone ring tones.
Please care for your voice by bringing only water to drink.
Once a month at the break we enjoy light refreshments provided by one or more sections.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND A REHEARSAL, UPDATE YOUR AVAILABILITY IN Choir Genius or ADVISE YOUR SECTION HELPER IN ADVANCE AND ARRANGE TO GET MUSIC MARKINGS.
IF WITHIN A WEEK BEFORE A PERFORMANCE YOU ARE UNABLE TO KEEP THAT COMMITMENT, CALL OR EMAIL THE MUSIC DIRECTOR.
First and foremost, we enjoy each other’s company.
For most gatherings, we’re often caught at our rehearsal space a bit early in order to spend a few minutes catching up with friends.
It’s about having a great time working on pieces together, learning, and supporting each other. Being part of a chorus is one of the BEST experiences you will ever have.
While none of it ever feels like work, we love to insert social time into our seasons with luncheons and wrap up parties.
Above all, we look forward to welcoming all kinds, from all backgrounds, into our second family.
We don’t take ourselves seriously, but we’re serious about singing.

The Ambassadors
The LCC Ambassadors is an auditioned chamber group intended to raise the profile of the Langley Community Chorus by performing at outreach events. It is often not practical for a choir the size of the greater LCC to perform in certain spaces.
This is where the Ambassadors shine.
They are a small enough group to have the flexibility to perform anywhere, but large enough to be a cohesive choral sound. They routinely perform in the Township and City of Langley at various seasonal events.
Membership is through the audition process.
Please contact our membership secretary to learn more.
