The music industry has increased
its concern to ensure they are paid when copyrighted music is played.
Therefore the United States Air Force requires that any U.S. show --
civilian or military -- hosting an Air Force aircraft demonstration must
secure the necessary music licenses for broadcast of pre-recorded
copyrighted music over public address speaker systems. On behalf of all U.S.
air shows, the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) has negotiated
reduced rates from BMI, ASCAP and SESAC. These rates are not controlled or negotiated by the USAF
and are subject to change. (Note: This rate applies only to music broadcast
over the public address system during the air show portion of the program
and does not provide the show the right to use pre-recorded music at
concerts or other non-air show special events held in conjunction with the
air show.) Each event organizer should secure music licenses from BMI, ASCAP
and SESAC and provide proof of licenses to the teams NLT 30 days prior
to the events to allow for rescheduling.
