On Sunday afternoon, January 21st, Tillamook High School held it's annual Tri-M Music Honor Society Induction Ceremony. We inducted 12 new members. For the induction, students that have been nominated and have accepted the "call" perform a piece during the Induction Ceremony. Then students repeat an oath of commitment, receive their pin, certificate and patch and enjoy some refreshments. Isn't this cake awesome? Solid Grounds Bakery did the cake and it looks just like the Tri-M logo!! ...and it tasted fantastic!!
Tillamook's Tri-M Music Honor Society began in 1972, went on for quite awhile, then the charter was dropped. I reinstated the charter last year and think it's great that we can honor our high school musicians this way.
To qualify, students need to hold a B average in music classes and a C average in other curriculum areas. Students also need to model good leadership, citizenship and (of course) musicianship.
We'll be having our first meeting later this week. I don't think we can all fit in the choir room office, so we'll have to meet in the main choir room. View the Tri-M link on the right to learn more about this great organization.
