Tri-M Scholarship Concert!

Anybody who is interested in playing in the annual Scholarship Concert to raise money for a graduating senior who will be pursuing a music major, you MUST perform in a Tri-M meeting before March 12! Remember, at least ONE performance is mandatory for every Tri-M member, and participating in the Scholarship Concert is an excellent way to benefit the community and gain points. Please see the Vice Presidents with any questions.
