Where You Can Get Hours
Above are some activities in which you can do to gain hours. Look below for the rules on service hours!
Rules
Tri-M members may complete service activities outside of the club to fulfill the requirement for hours. All service activities must be related to music, whether it be teaching music without profit or performing music for outreach reasons (such as performing at a retirement home or for a charity event). If you are unsure whether a service activity meets the Leesville Tri-M standard, please see one of our board members.
Members are allowed to receive a maximum of 3 outside hours automatically for organizations that they are a part of. Examples of these include Philharmonic Association groups (TYP, TYS, TYO, TYSO, TYSS, TYJE), Triangle Youth Brass Band, NC Chamber Music Institute, and Mallarme Youth Chamber Orchestra. If you’re unsure if your music organization qualifies, please contact one of the board members.
​
Members must have their hour sheet signed every time they are at an event. The hours sheet must be signed by the volunteer coordinator or an Tri-M officer that is at the event. Hour sheets may not be signed by parents. Any Tri-M member who submits a forged or false hour sheet may be immediately removed from the club.
​
Tri-M Hours do not roll from year to year.
​
A total of 15 hours is required yearly---** Members are required to earn at least 7 Tri-M Service Hours. More information can be found on the Meeting Slides Tab, 1st meeting button, under "Ways to Get Hours" & "Hour Requirements".
​
