ASCAP Update
 
 
If you have/had a chapter show in 2008, please send a check for a minimum fee of
$210 made payable to the Barbershop Harmony Society and send it to our office
here in Nashville.  We (the Society) will see that the appropriate fee is paid
to ASCAP. 
For 2009, we have established the annual minimum ASCAP fee to be $215 and we ask
that you follow the same payment process as outlined above until further
notice.  
For chapters that have shows to the extent that they would exceed the annual
minimum fee of $210, please use the percentage of .0050 as a multiplier against
your gross ticket sales in order to calculate the amount you owe ASCAP for each
show.
Most chapters will not even come close to the annual minimum and should just pay
the annual minimum with their first show license fees.
Questions should be sent to John Schneider jschneider@....
