The second ever Tri-M recital showcased musicians, actors, singers and for the first time, artwork Nov. 9 in the music room.

Students were encouraged to participate and pay $5 to perform or showcase their artwork. All proceeds went to the Keeler Women’s Center. The center benefits women and ties in with the art department’s theme this year of sisterhood. T-shirts designed by senior Domino Colyer were sold at the recital along with baked goods that were sold for $1.

“All of the proceeds from the t-shirts go directly to the women’s center,” music and drama department director Elizabeth Mulkey said.

Senior Zoë Mulkey organized the recital also performed with her mother in a saxophone, singing duet. She was one of the main contributors to the recital because it was her senior service project.

“They are a no boundaries program so everyone is welcomed which is really important to me and they’re just a really great program. I’ve had a great time working with them,” Zoë said.

The whole recital was all student run, but not just students performed. There were two mother daughter performances as well as Spanish teacher Leah LaFaver’s performance of “Even If” by Amel Larrieux.

“All Tri-M members are required to perform but I am happy to perform because it is a good organization and we’re helping people and at the end of the day that’s all that really matters,” senior Taylor Ramsey said.

Over 18 people performed and five pieces of artwork were donated. The recital ended up raising $560 but according to Zoë Tri-M t-shirts will be sold at fine arts events with the donations going to the Keeler Women’s Center. It also showcased the many different talents of the community along with raising awareness and donations for the Keeler Women’s Center.

“I was so excited about the great turnout and all the donations we collected. That will really help out the foundation we are supporting,” junior Lucy Steyer said.
