The Highline Community Orchestra has scheduled its inaugural concert for March 28.

Music from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, the “Russian Sailors Dance” by Gliere, the “Grand March”, from Verdi’s Aida, and well known popular songs (“Cherish,” “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rain” and “Rainy Days and Mondays”) are on the program.

But, said director Allen Buthmann, “We are now in dire need of more players. We need more stringed instrument players, French horns, trumpets, and an oboist.”

He encouraged interested musicians who can make the orchestra’s rehearsals on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. to join them in the choir room at Highline High School.

“No auditions will be given since we will depend on your competence and integrity,” Buthmann said. “The concert music is not terribly difficult technically.

“You will also be helping the school music program financially and to gain in popularity as the tickets sold will provide needed materials.
