HAWK BAND & GUARD

Band & Guard Philosophy

To provide a comprehensive music education through participation in instrumental ensembles and
visual arts. Curriculum and policies are designed to foster respect, leadership, individual and group
responsibility, and social interaction in a safe environment. We are committed to the use of current
technology to aid in the music education of our students. We also commit to using the best available
supplies and materials to give our students the best tools and the best chance for musical success.
Finally, The Hawk Band is as committed to its students as the students are to the program, and their
academic, personal, and musical well-being is paramount to any decision-making process.



Director of Bands: Mr. Alex Pedigo | alex.pedigo@hcps.net

What is Tri-M? 

  • The Tri-M Music Honor Society is a program of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), which focuses on creating future leaders in music education and music advocacy.
  • Tri-M is the only music honor society for junior/middle school and high school students in United States.
  • Tri-M recognizes students that have gone above and beyond both academically and musically.
  • Tri-M also provides students leadership opportunities to make a difference in their community through music-based service projects.
  • There are more than 2,100 chapters across 50 states and 15 countries.
  • Tri-M involves more than 84,000 students in grades 6-12.
  • Each year, student members contribute more than 750,000 service hours to their school and local communities and raise nearly $1 million for causes they care about.


What are the requirements for membership?

  • Candidates must be a member of those classes designated as eligible by the local chapter.
  • Candidates must have been in attendance at the school for the equivalent of one semester. 


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 be enrolled in a school-sponsored music ensemble and/or class.
  • Academic Achievement
    • Candidates must have maintained for the previous semester at least an A average grade or equivalent in music, with at least a B average grade or equivalent in other academic subjects. Local chapters may make exceptions to these requirements at the discretion of the chapter advisor with school principal's approval.
  • Leadership
    • This criteria is at your discretion as 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 your discretion as 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.

Including, but not limited to, artistry community contributions, leadership, and academic achievements. This includes any 11th/12th grade public or private school student demonstrating excellence in the pageantry arts. The honor society promotes the use of standards in education curriculum and develops future leaders in the field of pageantry arts education and performance. This development fosters an appreciation and a legitimization of pageantry arts as a true art form. An art form worthy of recognition and prestige. 


 

Student Benefits

P.A.H.S.  is a program created to recognize outstanding artistry, community contributions, leadership through character development, and academic achievement in students studying colorguard in public and private schools, in 11th-12th education and performing arts organizations. These four pillars are the foundations of this organization.


 

Institutional Benefits

  1. Establishing a P.A.H.S. chapter allows you to recognize your outstanding students for their artistic merit, leadership, community involvement, and academic achievement. This helps create parity with other academic disciplines who sponsor honor societies.
  2. Your institution will be listed on the P.A.H.S. website on the FFCC page, allowing for additional promotion of your program.
  3. P.A.H.S. can serve as a recruitment tool, attracting students who are familiar with P.A.H.S. from other high school programs.

 

Benefit for the Colorguard Arts Education

By recognizing outstanding colorguard students statewide for their outstanding artistry, community contributions, leadership roles, and academic achievement it helps create a way to promote colorguard programs.

P.A.H.S. helps to advance the field of colorguard education centered in the arts.

Pageantry Arts Honor Society has a network of organizations that seek to unite and strengthen colorguard education in the United States and support the national office in reaching colorguard educators at the local and regional levels. This network supports individual and collective efforts of educators, artists, choreographers, administrators, researchers, and business owners working in colorguard in diverse artistic and educational environments across the country.
