Students from six Metro Nashville Public Schools took to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center stage in Nashville on Tuesday (May 17) for the annual Disney Musicals in Schools Student Share, sponsored by the CMA Foundation.

This is the third year the program has been locally sponsored by the CMA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Country Music Association. Since 2006, CMA and the CMA Foundation have donated more than $13.6 million to support sustainable music education initiatives across the country.

The students, representing Margaret Allen Middle Prep, Robert Churchwell Museum Magnet Elementary, Robert E. Lillard Elementary, Rose Park Magnet Math and Science Middle Prep, Smith Springs Elementary, and Sylvan Park Paideia Design Center schools performed numbers from Disney Theatrical Group productions of The Lion King JR., The Lion King KIDS, and The Aristocats KIDS.
