The Curb Youth Symphony, the most advanced ensemble of the Nashville Youth Orchestra Program, recently held its annual Concerto Competition at Blair School of Music. Nineteen high-level soloists on a variety of instruments, including violin, flute, piano, cello, oboe, trumpet, clarinet, bassoon, and horn, competed for two solo spots in upcoming concerts.
Sheeline Yu '21 was one of the two winners and will play Paganini's Violin Concerto in D Major with the orchestra in next year's winter concert.
Not content to settle for that honor, Sheeline auditioned the following week for the Middle Tennessee Band and Orchestra Association Mid-State Honors Orchestra and received the highest score among the violinists. She will be concertmaster of the 11-12 Orchestra in the upcoming Mid-State festival weekend in January. Stay tuned for notice of other USN instrumentalists who auditioned successfully for that group.
Congratulations to Sheeline!

Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled
Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.Read More -
