[HANASHIR:9932] Re: music for "Holiday" concerts in public schools

[Meryl Weiner <gweiner...>]

Joel,

Thanks for the information.  To their credit, the high school choral
department never Xeroxes music.  They always buy as many copies as they need
from the publisher.  That has always been my recommendation.  That has
always been their policy, I'm happy to report.

Shana Tova,
Meryl Weiner
