[LM_NET] TAR:music copyright question

[Marsha Redd <marsharedd@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I know there are copyright experts out there who can help me out here. I am 
creating a memories-of-the-year video for the students at my high school. It 
is a collection of video clips of football,  basketball, band, choir, school 
play, etc., and it is set to music. Three of the music pieces will be the 
full song with two additional song segments. Of course, I own all of the 
music I am using, and all music will be credited at the end of the video. I 
have done this in the past with photo slide shows, but this is the first 
year that I have done actual video footage. The students absolutely love it. 
Now my principal wants to show it at graduation. So my question is: What are 
my obligations as far as obtaining permission from the music artists? Is 
crediting the artists sufficient? If not, does anyone have a form for 
requesting permission? I really appreciate the help of all you experts. 
Thanks.
