Payment Links and Forms
In the fall of 2025, our chapter voted via an online survey to increase dues payments and to eliminate the "Retired-Inactive" membership status so as to align with Phi Beta Mu International. $15 of every Active Membership and $6 of every Retired Active membership dues collected go to Phi Beta Mu International, the remainder stays local for our chapter to put to work as we see fit.

2027 Commissioning Project: Carol Brittin Chambers
The following forms will be used to join and make a payment towards a commissioning project with the Phi Beta Mu Xi Chapter and composer Carol Brittin Chambers. The commission will be based on the Illinois state song and premiered at the All-Illinois Junior High Honor Band when she conducts in 2027 (delivered December 1, 2026). The work will be a grade 3 - 3.5 and will be 3:00-5:00 in length. She has agreed to a $4,000 commission - $2,000 would be covered by Phi Beta Mu Xi Chapter (Illinois) and the remaining $2,000 will be reached via a consortium of twenty middle and high school directors affiliated with Phi Beta Mu Xi each paying $100. Consortium members must be active in membership status in order to join. Any additional consortium members over the required 20 are welcome to join and the additional monies collected will go to the composer.
