Tri-M Music Honors Society Chapter #5873
Tri-M is the only nationally recognized Music Honor Society for high school musicians. Our school's chapter consists of accomplished instrumental and vocal musicians who aim to promote the arts in our area as well as support music programs in underprivileged public schools in the area. This society is run by Ms. Safari and includes students from both our band and choir!
We love to perform for our school community, as well as outside our community, to raise awareness of the Arts and emphasize the importance of music and music education. We strive to continuously improve our musicianship and leadership skills and are proud to participate in honors bands and choirs, representing the best that PV's music department has to offer. Come check us out, we meet in room 163 on Wednesdays during lunch! Contact our Advisor, Mrs. Safari, for more information, at asafari@pascack.org.
