Symphony (sfchronicle.com) — An 18-year-old cellist who expected to spend a gap year at her family home in San Pablo caring for siblings instead won a coveted spot in the San Francisco Symphony. Her journey from homeschooling and family quartet rehearsals to a professional orchestra seat shows what's possible for young East Bay musicians balancing ambition, family responsibilities, and big-city opportunities. 
• Viral video claims to show students beating Trump pinata (knewz.com) — A controversial viral video is reported to show people hitting a Donald Trump piñata at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, with the college saying the matter has been handled as a personnel issue.
