Tri-M Music Honor Society


The Tri-M Music Honor Society is the international music honor society for middle and high school students. It is designed to recognize students for their academic and musical achievements, reward them for their accomplishments and service activities, and to inspire other students to excel at music and leadership. Valhalla's Tri-M chapter works toward bringing music to our community, including residence homes and elementary schools. Tri-M also works toward helping education. Tri-M membership requires enrollment in an instrumental music course.

Message from the Presidents

This is our first year being presidents of the Valhalla Chapter of Tri-M. It is a wonderful experience to help raise money for various music-related activities. Even though what we do may seem small, we know that down the road it will make a difference. - Jeni Stiso and Gumi Sethi
