MUSIC INFORMATION - FAQ
1. What is ASCAP/BMI/SESAC? Why does our music have to be licensed by one of these companies?
ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are music licensing companies. Music licensing laws require us to have this
information on file when we play your music at competition and/or if your routine is shown on television.
2. What constitutes as 1 song for the 5 song rule?
One song is considered to be one track on a CD/Album. For example, track #3 on a CD would be
considered one song even if there are several songs on that one track. Most remix CD’s are structured this
way.
3. Is it necessary to complete the original music and/or sound effects form if sound effects are used?
If the sound effect is from a CD, this does not count as a song, and you do not have to fill out the original
music/sound effect form. If spoken words from a song are used, it counts as one of your five songs.
If spoken words or sound effects are CREATED by a DJ or person, this is considered original music and the
original music/sound effects form should be completed.
THIS FORM IS DUE IN OUR OFFICE NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 3, 2014
