Here's a new wrinkle in the copyright business:

http://www.musicexpresso.com

This company is publishing music and giving a site license to school
groups. All music is distributed over the internet. Download as many
copies of each part as you need and print them on your own printer or
photocopy them. Very little repertoire is available now, but I suspect
that this is the wave of the future.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
