Music Honor Society Launches at Cary-Grove

Cary-Grove Community High School announces the formation of a Tri-M® Music Honor Society charter.

The initial induction ceremony included a recital by all inductees on April 20 under the leadership of band director Marty Magnini and choral director Kristine Hester. Tri-M is the honor society for secondary school music students.

Inducted into the Cary-Grove chapter of Tri-M are: Christina Angle, Sam Babick, Megan Burke, Katie Edwards, Kelly Kaveney, Kendall Lake, Ryan Lammers, Sarah Lawhun, Tyler Olmsted, Becca Polyack, Hank Prim, Christina Schmidt, Jacob Shapiro, Bryce Sova, Eric Spoerl, Parker Tweeten, Sheila Wilhelmi, and Andrew Zaruba.

The formation of this chapter further signifies the school’s recognition of the importance of the arts in the development of a comprehensive educational program.

The Tri-M Music Honor Society provides a means of recognizing the efforts and achievements of music students who volunteer their time and share their musical talent with others. Since 1952, almost 5,000 Tri-M chapters have been chartered in the United States and abroad, and current membership exceeds 50,000.

The goal of the Tri-M Music Honor Society is to foster greater interest in band, orchestra, and choral performance and to provide more opportunities for personal musical expression. Students are selected for membership in the honor society on the basis of musicianship, scholarship, character, 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.
