Join or renew your membership

Nothing we do would be possible without the generous support we receive from district families, staff, community members, and our business partners and sponsors.

When you join or renew your PMA membership, your annual dues go directly back into our district music programs in the form of staff and student support, scholarships, instruments, uniforms, and so much more. Members also receive special benefits, such as student eligibility for various scholarship opportunities.

If you’re ready to get more involved, keep scrolling to learn more about our monthly membership meetings and volunteer opportunities!

Annual Membership

When you join or renew today, your dues go directly back into our district music programs. Annual Memberships are just $12 per year, but your dollars make a huge impact.

Annual Membership is open to all, including District 153 families, alumni, staff, and community members who want to support music in our schools.

Lifetime Membership

Less hassle, same support. Join PMA as a Lifetime Member and you’ll never have to renew again! Your one-time dues will carry your membership all the way through your child’s 8th grade graduation and beyond.

Lifetime Membership is open to all, including District 153 families, alumni, staff, and community members who want to support music in our schools.

Volunteer

If you want to step up and get more involved, we’d love to have you! We can always use more volunteers and have a variety of roles and work available, depending on your time, skills, and interests.

PMA volunteers:

  • table at community events to get the word out about PMA

  • help run fundraisers and sell sweets at student concerts

  • serve as parent chaperones for events, concerts, performances, and trips to contests across the Chicagoland region

  • help us promote district music programs to the larger community

  • serve on the PMA Board of Directors and sub-committees

The easiest way to get started is to log on to an upcoming monthly meeting. If you can’t make a meeting, use our contact form to get in touch!
