Golden Knights in Perfect Harmony: Tri-M Induction Ceremony

Holland Patent’s newest Tri-M inductees have joined the harmony of honor. On Oct. 9, the district held the Tri-M Music Honor Society Induction Ceremony. Tri-M is a prestigious national organization that celebrates student musicians for their academic excellence and musical talent. 

The ceremony honored students who have demonstrated a commitment to music both in and out of the classroom. These inductees have not only excelled in performance but have also contributed to Holland Patent’s school community. 

“These students truly embody the spirit of Holland Patent’s Golden Knight,” said Shawn DePalma, Music Director at Holland Patent. “Their dedication and passion for music resonate throughout our school, and we’re thrilled to welcome them into Tri-M Music Honor Society.”
