The music played by EWPS Bands is selected by conductors and purchased by the Band Committee each year to develop and showcase our young musicians.
The EWPS Band Committee takes our responsibility to composers and publishers seriously, so arrangements are in place to meet copyright requirements while ensuring that access to current music is as easy as possible for parents. This includes part of the Band Fees held as a bond for the annual return of copyrighted music.
We have prepared an explainer about how to look after your music - including how to follow the copyright laws. All parents and students in EWPS bands are required to follow these simple steps.
*Looking after your band music PDF
Band parents can print their own copies of music at home using our digital library. Under copyright requirements, any printed copies remain the property of the Band Committee, so access to the digital library is on condition that:
You do not make or share a digital copy of the music - i.e. you only access the music to print a single hard copy for your student to use in EWPS band
You dispose securely of your music at the end of the band year - your Music Copyright Bond is subject to compliance with requirements.
The link to the digital library will be available from your Band Coordinator.
