Tri-M Music Honor Society held its end-of-year concert on May 29 after school from 4-5 p.m., celebrating the club’s achievements for the 2025-’26 school year and showcasing the members’ progress in their musical abilities. The concert featured 12 group performances and concluded with two finale songs, during which all club members performed together.
“This end-of-year concert was basically to fulfill the club’s mission, which is to bring music and passion to the school and the student body,” Mary Maney, Tri-M advisor, said. “I think this final concert really fulfills the mission on a great scale because this end-of-year concert held in the auditorium allowed for a big-scale performance.”
To prepare for this final concert, Tri-M members formed their own groups and arranged performances of their choice starting from the beginning of the second semester. Many groups featured a mix of instruments and vocals with diverse song selections; one ensemble included clarinet and violin, while another group combined piano, violin, singing, and guitar.
“One thing I really appreciated about the concert was the diversity of the music selections,” MJ Kim (10), Tri-M executive and concert performer, said. “We had everything from classical piano pieces to rock-style performances and even video game music, which allowed members to express different musical interests.”
After a variety of performances showcasing each group’s uniqueness, the concert ended with two whole-club performances of “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay and “Dancing Queen” by ABBA.
“What I think made the concert especially meaningful was that each group had the chance to showcase their own talents throughout the program, but everyone came together for the finale songs, which brought together many performers and created a strong sense of unity in Tri-M,” MJ said.
Tri-M also faced logistical challenges along the way to put all the members together for a successful concert.
“I think the logistics were challenged with many events booked in the auditorium in May, but I think Tri-M worked around it well,” Ms. Maney said. “Also, I think that a lot of Tri-M’s challenges are just getting everyone prepared in time and coordinated altogether as one group for the final concert.”
Though putting together a whole club for an after-school concert required significant preparation and coordination, Tri-M successfully concluded its final in-school activity for the 2025-’26 school year. This concert highlighted the club’s role in creating meaningful performance opportunities for students to share musicianship with the school community.
