There are three main music public viewing companies to buy licensing from. If it is a one time event you may be able to purchase a one time event license. Even happy birthday is copyrighted and has royalties. This is why so many restaurants create their own birthday songs. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Sincerely,</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Esther Moberg<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On May 25, 2016, at 11:43 AM, Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney <<a href="mailto:kbrodbeck-kenney@lincolncity.org">kbrodbeck-kenney@lincolncity.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>
