The Dillon Middle School Music Department, which is made up of Band and Chorus members, recently held its second Tri-M Music Induction Ceremony under the Chapter Charter #9021. They are very proud of these 60 plus students we have inducted. Students received their Tri-M jackets and shirts as part of their induction. What isTri-M Music Honor Society? Tri-M is the only music honor society for junior/middle school and high school students in the country. Tri-M recognizes students that have gone above and beyond both academically and musically. Tri-M also provides students leadership opportunities to make a difference in their community through music-based service projects. There are more than 2,100 chapters across 50 states and 15 countries. Tri-M involves more than 84,000 students in grades 6-12. Each year, student members contribute more than 750,000 service hours to their school and local communities and raise nearly $1 million for causes they care about.
