As I mentioned in another thread, I've been working with a number of organizations to legitimize the libraries. Where we don't have originals, we have either bought originals or religated the unplayable stuff to file.
One of the tricks that I learned was that for a little money a community band could join the Association of Concert Bands which would give the organization a blanket ASCAP/BMI license. There is no longer a reason to fly under the radar here, especially if you have an active band board with officiers.
I also recommend making any community band a 501c (think charity for our international readers) organization to help with taxes, donations, and the like.
