About Us
So, you’re thinking about joining Tri-M Music Honor Society? Here’s some information about what it means to be a “Tri-M” at Hebron and how to apply.

What is Tri-M Music Honor Society?
Tri-M Music Honor Society, formerly known as Modern Music Masters, is an American high school and middle school music honor society. A program of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), it is designed to recognize students for their academic and musical achievements and to provide leadership and service opportunities to young musicians. There are approximately 6200 participating chapters in several countries, each of which is run by the students but supervised by an advisor or sponsor.

Why should I join Tri-M?
Being invited to join Tri-M is a huge honor! As you know, it is an international honor society, and it is made up of the best-of-the-best music students who share a common goal: to strengthen and grow the music community of their schools. Throughout the year, members of Tri-M (known as “Tri-Ms”) take part in service projects to help their music teachers and to strengthen ties with their elementary and middle school feeders. When we all come together to do good for our community, we all shine! Upon graduation, all “Tri-Ms” receive pink cords that display their commitment and service to the Mt. Hebron Music Department and the Tri-M Music Honor Society.

Is Tri-M a big commitment?
It depends who you ask. Some “Tri-Ms” think the membership requirements are tough; others think they’re less difficult. However you slice it, being a member of Tri-M is all about thoughtful planning. Once a month, Mt. Hebron Tri-M holds meetings in the Choir Room to keep all members on the same page. They discuss upcoming events and other important chapter information. Attendance at these meetings is mandatory. 

Additionally, each quarter, all “Tri-Ms” must take part in at least TWO Service Experiences. These experiences are always music-related and strengthen our music community. For example, a “Tri-M” could contact their elementary school music teacher and teach lessons to younger students after school. A “Tri-M” could also volunteer to usher at concerts at Hebron. There are many county-wide and school-wide music events that occur in our auditorium each year, and “Tri-Ms” can be seen working 

the lights, handing out programs, and helping guests find their way through our music wing. “Tri-Ms” are also involved in preparing the stage for concerts and striking the stage when concerts have ended.

How do I submit a Service Experience?
Here at Hebron, we submit our Service Experiences digitally. Unlike other honor societies that use pesky hardcopies, we have no cumbersome tracking sheets to manage. Instead, once you complete one of your Service Experiences, you simply visit our Service Experience Google Submission Form and input your information. Each quarter, you must fulfill TWO Service Experiences; however, many “Tri-Ms” go above-and-beyond and complete many more. I’m sure you’re not surprised, though; Tri-M Music Honor Society members are committed to making a difference in our community.

Tri-M Application
So, you’re ready to take the plunge? Great! All interested music students should complete the one-page Tri-M Application. It is short and sweet -- nothing complicated about it. Once submitted, Mr. Dogas (the Mt. Hebron Tri-M Music Honor Society Advisor) will review your application and consult with your music teacher. For example, if you’re a band student, he will check-in with Mr. Fischer to confirm that you exhibit the commitment and dedication required of all “Tri-Ms”. Once accepted, you will be notified via email and must attend our next meeting to take the next steps to confirm your membership.

Tri-M Contract and Annual Dues
Once accepted, each “Tri-M” is responsible for completing their Mt. Hebron Tri-M Contract and paying their annual chapter dues of $15. To access OSP, visit the main Mt. Hebron website: www.mhhs.hcpss.org. 

So what are you waiting for?
As you can see, being a “Tri-M” is a win-win. You get to meet new people and have fun while strengthening our Mt. Hebron Music community. If you have any questions about membership, don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Dogas via email: nicholas_dogas@hcpss.org.
