ELIGIBILITY
Candidates must be a member of one of the following classes at Athens High School:

• Freshman Orchestra 
• Concert Orchestra
• Symphony Orchestra
• Campus Band
• Concert Band
• Jazz Band
• Symphonic Band
• Concert Choir

Students who are enrolled in Marching Band but NOT a band class are not eligible to participate in Tri-M, as Marching Band is not a class offered at Athens High School. 

Candidates must have been in attendance at the school for the equivalent of one semester. Freshmen can join second semester of their freshman year as long as they are enrolled in one of the above classes. 

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Tri-M member consideration should not be limited to any one segment of a music program (such as band, chorus, etc.). The following criteria may be included at the discretion of the Chapter Advisor:
Music Participation

• Candidates must have been enrolled in a school-sponsored music ensemble and/or class for at least one semester of the current school year.

Academic Achievement

• Candidates must have maintained for the previous semester at least a B average grade or equivalent in music, with at least a cumulative C average grade or equivalent in other academic subjects.

Leadership

• This criteria is at the discretion of the advisor. Generally speaking, any school or community activity that students are actively involved in will suffice. Leadership roles in both school and community may be considered as long as they can be verified.

Service

• Similar to leadership, this criteria is at the discretion of the advisor. Service activities include any actions undertaken by the student that are done with or on behalf of others without any direct financial or material compensation to the individual performing the service.

Character

• Judgment of character should be free of speculation and rumor. One description of character is a person who demonstrates respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Chapters are encouraged to take this model and modify it to meet their local needs.
