Tiger Arts Patrons is the booster club supporting our visual and performing arts students. Membership is $100 per family per year and includes admission to our music, dance, and theater performances. Better known as TAP, this booster club provides a supportive community for our artists, enhances exciting extracurricular programming, and facilitates the acquisition of special items that may not fit into the school’s operating budget. Everyone in your household will enjoy free admission to all USN arts events — music, dance, theater, and visual arts (including off-campus performances) — excluding Student Theatre Guild performances.

Membership is open to anyone interested in supporting the arts at USN, including grandparents and others in the greater Nashville community. You may register for annual TAP membership here for $100. The annual fee includes TAP membership for all immediate family members living in your household.
