johnf Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 About 6 or 7 years ago I wrote a song for the middle school band that I was teaching. (a concert march for those of you former band nerds) I decided to submit it to a music publisher and e-mailed one of them the music and a recording of it. Two days later they sent me an e-mail back and wanted to publish it. I'll be getting 50% of the profit on all sales from it. Probibly won't make much money off of it, but it's pretty cool that I'll be able to see my name in one of the cataloges that I order music from.

slugshooter Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: Tootin\' my own horn. Congrats!! Pretty cool, just make sure you don't order a copy for yourself just so you can try and boost your sales. You never know though, it could become a really popular song....march....whatever, I wasn't a band geek and you could end up making tons of money. If that's possible in band geek....er marching band songwriting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: Tootin\' my own horn. A concert march is like the music of John Philip Sousa. "Stars and Stripes Forever", "The Washington Post" "National Emblem" or "76 Trombones" from "The Music Man." Only mines isn't nearly that good.
