You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Tri-M Music Honor Society''', formerly known as '''Modern Music Masters''', is an American [[high school]] and [[middle school]] music [[honor society]]. A program of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), it is designed to recognize students for their academic and musical achievements and to provide leadership and service opportunities to young musicians.<ref>((cite web|title=Tri-M Music Honor Society|url=http://www.nafme.org/resources/view/tri-m-music-honor-society|access-date=2 May 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110926090226/http://www.nafme.org/resources/view/tri-m-music-honor-society|archive-date=26 September 2011))</ref> There are approximately 6200 participating chapters in several countries, each of which is run by the students but supervised by an advisor or sponsor, usually a school teacher.((Citation needed|date=March 2021))

To be eligible for membership, a student must maintain an A average in their music classes, a C average in all of their academic courses, be presently enrolled in a music course at their school, and be recommended for membership by their school's music faculty.<ref>((cite web|last=NAfME|first=Website|title=Tri M Chapter Manual|url=http://musiced.nafme.org/category/interest-areas/music-honor-society-chairpersons-tri-m/|publisher=NAfME|access-date=November 12, 2012))</ref>

In 1935, Charles Himmel, Principal of Maine Township High School (Now Maine Township High School East) in Des Plaines/Park Ridge, Illinois approached Music Department Chairman Alexander M. Harley about beginning a music honor society for high school music students.  Harley, along with his wife Frances began formulating a plan; they decided that the initiates should be among the finest technical and academic musicians at the high school. The entrance requirements were rigorous.  In 1936, they initiated the first members of the "Maine Music Masters."  One of the first debates of this organization was whether to refer to themselves as TRI-M or 3M.  For almost twenty years this organization worked to promote the values of service to the music program, the school, and the community.  They were one of the first school organizations to organize canned food and clothing drives and community concerts at nursing homes, civic organizations, and community events.  In one school year, the members of TRI-M presented over 300 concerts.

== National expansion ==

In 1952, Maine Township High School Superintendent Harry D. Anderson attended the initiation of TRI-M and felt the organization could have broad appeal to other high schools. He urged Harley to incorporate. With the help of the History Department, TRI-M was incorporated as "Modern Music Masters." Its membership steadily grew and it became an international organization with chapters as far away as Asia and Europe. Harley and his wife traversed the country to start chapters.

== International expansion ==
There is a Tri-M chapter in The Baptist school Amman, located in Jordan. The Yongsan International School of Seoul also fosters Korea's first Junior Chapter Tri-M, as well as a Senior Chapter. The [[International School Manila]] also has its own chapter of Tri-M in its high school. [[Seoul Foreign School]], [[Concordia International School Shanghai]], [[Mont'Kiara International School]],[[International School of Kuala Lumpur]], [[Taipei American School]], [[Singapore American School]], [[Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], [[Shanghai American School]], [[Nansha College Preparatory Academy]], [[International Christian School (Hong Kong)|International Christian School]], [[Korea International School Jeju]], [[International School Bangkok]],<ref>((Cite web |last=Tian |first=Ruotong|date= |title=Tri-Music Charity Concert at ISB |url=https://blog.isb.ac.th/tri-music-charity-concert-at-isb |access-date=28 August 2023 |website=blog.isb.ac.th/))</ref> and The American School of Dubai also have Tri-M Music Honor Society chapters. The American Community School of Abu Dhabi and [[The American School of Doha]] have thriving chapters as well.

== Program of MENC ==
In 1983, the "Modern Music Masters" officially became a program of the Music Educators National Conference.  Its name was changed to the TRI-M Music Honor Society and presently there are over 6200 chapters worldwide.  TRI-M continues to promote the ideals of service to the school music program, the school-at-large, and the community.

Alexander Harley died in 1989 and at his funeral, the school flags from the four Maine High Schools, carried by the TRI-M Presidents, were processed in honoring the vision of this man and his vision for music students everywhere.  Frances died in 2004.

==Awards and honors==
[[Image:TriM Pin.JPG|thumb|150px|A membership pin awarded to junior inductees of the Tri-M Music honor society.]]
