About Our Club
Tri-M/Forte is a volunteer club that focuses on giving back to the community through our passion for music. This year, join us to play in virtual performances, teach younger music students, take part in interactive socials, and more!
We will be hosting general meetings on the 1st Tuesday of every month at lunch (12pm).

Performance Events
HHS Tri-M/Forte holds various performance events throughout the school year. We host on-campus and off-site performance events where club members can share their talent with an audience at select venues. Past events include senior home performances, Human Jukebox during lunch, and district-wide collaboration concerts.
With the Notelove program, club members provide free music lessons to kids who live in lower-income areas of Silicon Valley. Click the linked title to visit Notelove's official website and learn more about their program!
