Langley Lip Dub is scheduled to happen in the second semester, but it can’t be a smash hit if the majority of the school isn’t aware of it. In a poll of 100 Langley students, a whopping 93 had not heard about the Langley Lip Dub. One sophomore, Emily Choi, asked “What is it?”

To answer a school-wide question, a Lip Dub is a type of video that combines lip-syncing and audio dubbing. A group of people sing the lyrics or take turns singing individually to a song and then go back and synchronize it with the actual music. This has recently become very popular, and many schools, communities, universities, etc. have been posting these videos on YouTube. The point of the Langley Lip Dub is to prove that Langley students are not spoiled rich kids. “We want to prove that Langley is more than just a school filled with stereotyped privileged students,” said junior Nika Rahini.

Senior Leah McSteen, who is running the LHS Lip Dub, created a Facebook event that all students can join. Some say they have heard of the Lip Dub through this Facebook broadcasting. However, posting the message on Facebook has only spread the word to three hundred students out of the estimated two thousand students currently attending Langley.

The LHS Lip Dub is a huge undertaking for Langley, and in order for it to be successful in its major goals of dispelling a stereotype and unifying the school, students need to be actively informed about it. Information about Langley’s Lip Dub could be announced over the intercom, morning announcements, and during lunches. The Langley website could also be used, as well as the expansive, unused rows of lockers for prime flier placement. As a school, Langley has made great strides in recent years in becoming more of a cohesive body, and the Lip Dub will only strengthen class ties. Getting the word out to all grade levels will only increase class involvement, and the more successful this is, the more successful the Lip Dub will be.
