35 students initiated into Tri-M at GMS

The chief aims of the Tri-M Music Honor Society are to foster greater interest in band, orchestral and choral performance and to provide wider opportunities for personal musical expression.

Students are selected for membership in the society on the basis of musicianship, scholarship, character, cooperation, leadership and service to their school and community. The organization’s high standards serve to challenge students to greater effort and achievement and to encourage them in the pursuit of excellence.

In 1983, the Tri-M Music Honor Society became a program of MENC: The National Association for Music Education now known as Nafme. The National Association for Music Education is the largest nonprofit association dedicated to the advancement of music education at the national and local levels.
