Several USN High School students headed out to Antioch in December to audition for Mid-State, a yearly event sponsored by Middle Tennessee School Band and Orchestra Association. It provides an opportunity for the best musicians of Middle Tennessee to perform with one another in large ensembles. All students auditioned successfully, and two received scores high enough to be selected for All-State weekend, to be held in April.
 
We are proud of all of these students, who will venture out to Murfreesboro this weekend and next to meet other local instrumentalists and rehearse and perform under the direction of respected visiting conductors. Of particular note for Tiger pride, Sheeline Yu ’21 has been named first chair violin (concertmaster) of the 9/10 Orchestra.
 
Participants include:
Silver Band: Trevor Zou ’20, euphonium
Gold Band: Gracie Li, ’21, bassoon
9/10 Orchestra: Sheeline Yu ’21, violin (All-State)
11/12 Orchestra: Amanda Ding ’19, cello (All-State); Jason Kuchtey ’20, violin
 
Congratulate them if you see them.
