    Mission / Purpose

    We, the members of the Forsyth Central Music Department, in order to foster a greater continued interest and a desire for individual and ensemble excellence in music performance; to encourage appreciation and awareness in listening to music; to promote wider opportunities for sharing joy through music both within our school and within our community; to advance the spirit of good music and musical knowledge; and to enhance the reputation of our school as a center for musical enrichment; enact and accept this constitution for the Tri-M Music Honor Society.

    · Motivate and recognize its members' musical and personal achievements beyond the incentives of credits and grades and regular “class” activities.
