Do marching bands pay royalties for the songs they use? If not, why don't they pay royalties?
That's interesting. Why do music publishers allow marching bands to perform without paying royalties?
There are a few reasons why music publishers allow marching bands to perform without paying royalties. One is that it can be seen as a form of promotion for the song and the artist that wrote it. Additionally, marching bands often perform at school events such as football games, which are seen as community events rather than commercial enterprises.
