Tri M Honor Society at Yorkville High School

On November 1st, 2017, Yorkville High School inducted 76 students into the first chapter of Tri-M Music Honor Society. At the ceremony, the Keynote Address was given by retired music educator Mr. William Jastrow. Throughout his 41 years in education, Mr. Jastrow has taught vocal and instrumental music, most recently in Indian Prairie School District 204. In addition, to being active as a clinician and conductor, Mr. Jastrow is widely regarded as one of the leaders in music advocacy, making him highly sought after as presenter and speaker.
Tri-M is a music honors society which allows student leaders of the music department to develop their role as “Modern Music Masters” through service and outreach. The talented musicians in Tri-M reach out to Yorkville’s community to enrich other’s lives with music. These devoted students have also volunteered at district concerts, taught music lessons to younger students, and organized public concerts. Sponsored by faculty advisors David Smith and Bobby Vriezen, Tri-M chapter 2193 has elected its first executive board of student leaders, including: President, Reanna Panlilio; Vice President, Haley Nell; Secretary, Rachel Tassi; Treasurer, Hunter Negron; and Historian, Catie O’Connor. Yorkville High School Tri-M is already making a huge impact on the Yorkville music program and is off to a wonderful start on building a foundation for years to come.
