The booster club Tiger Arts Patrons contributes additional funding to visual and performing arts at University School of Nashville while providing supporters with free admission to most music, dance, and theater performances. Register for annual TAP membership here for $100.
By Shana Small, TAP Co-Chair
Tiger Arts Patrons is the booster club that supports visual and performing arts across all divisions of University School of Nashville. Including the youngest artists and musicians and our High School performers, TAP helps provide the equipment and support that make arts experiences at USN truly exceptional.
Last year, TAP contributions funded important purchases for our arts programs, including new choir folders, an art projector, and stage lighting upgrades. These are the kinds of behind-the-scenes resources that directly benefit students every day in classrooms, rehearsals, performances, and exhibitions.
For the 2026-2027 school year, a $100 household membership helps continue this support and includes free admission to TAP-sponsored events, including:
"The Lion King," the Middle School musical
"The Addams Family," the High School musical
TAPstravaganza, our K-12 celebration of all the arts at USN
Whether your child participates in music, theater, visual arts, dance, or simply enjoys experiencing the arts, TAP membership is a wonderful way to support creativity throughout the entire USN community. We hope every arts-loving family will join TAP for the new school year. Thank you for helping keep the arts thriving at USN!

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.
