MARCHING SHOW RATES

$200 per minute of music is the minimum rate for arrangements of wind and percussion parts. Percussion includes a standard battery of quads, snare, bass, and cymbals. 

$50 additional per minute of music for frontline percussion and/or enhanced battery (more instruments, drumline features, etc.).

$50 additional per minute of music (possibly) for elements such as difficulty (grade 5-6) or creative elements (e.g. significant non-traditional instruments and other unique requests). 

$400 minimum per minute of original music.

You will be given ongoing editing rights; I will work with you to make any changes even after the final draft is paid for and acquired. However, additional charges will apply if wholesale changes are made that require more writing. 

LICENSING

All copyright and licensing is the responsibility of the purchaser (you). Please confirm the license availability before you fall in love with an idea and commit to any songs. 

A good place to start is the ASCAP Repertory Search. You can often find direct licensing contact info from publishers. 

Otherwise, most songs are owned and sold by Hal Leonard and can be obtained through Tresona. There are other options if your group will not march competitively; please feel free to reach out for more information.
