She must also have a minimum of a B average in music, and a C average in other academic subjects. Also, the student must demonstrate leadership, service, and character in her activities.

Each student is required to maintain a log of the time she worked. At the end of each workday, the student should report to the club moderator to sign off on the student’s time log. If more than 4 months pass with out a signature from the club moderator, the student’s hours will not count towards Tri – M Music Honor Society credit. Once the student has earned her 60 hours, the student should then fill out the application form, attach a copy of the production programs where she earned the hours, and request an interview date from the club moderator. If done efficiently, the student should be able to earn enough points in one year to gain membership status.
