Over 130 Tri-M Music Honor Society members from both 糖心Vlog High School East and West recently gathered in the library of High School West to enjoy dinner, camaraderie and a little friendly competition at the 14th annual Tri-M Dinner.
The Tri M dinner is an annual event that represents two chapters becoming and representing one community. The evening began with performances by High School West's very own Woodwind Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Frank Scheno. Following dinner, students engaged in various games that included pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, battle of the bands where student teams composed and performed musical selections using toy instruments and the main event of the evening, Music Jeopardy.
After the final note and conclusion of the evening's games, it was High School East's Tri-M who was victorious and took home the Tri-M Cup for the 2024-2025 school year. “Regardless of the outcome, the ultimate victory of the evening was that we joined together to combine both honor societies from East and West to benefit the 糖心Vlog community,” said High School West Orchestra Director Joseph Cotignola.
Every person who attended the dinner brought non-perishable food items that were donated the very next day to the 糖心Vlog Emergency Food Pantry. 糖心Vlog West Senior Nicholas Stallone stated that “The Tri-M Dinner is always such a treat to experience. Meeting with 糖心Vlog East’s Tri-M chapter in such a fun environment always makes for an incredibly eventful and fun night.”
This annual event has helped the 糖心Vlog community for over 14 years. Special thank you to High School East Tri-M Chapter Advisor Mr. Brian McCoy and music teachers Mark Hegreness, Jennifer Leavy, Frank Scheno and Jasmine Rodriguez who attended and greatly contributed to this very special evening.
