I've taken on the challenge of getting a show together for next year. My theme is 'Spirit of The 70's' but the only thing is that I need a lot of help. I've tried writing music....crashed and burned. I'm using Mr. Roboto, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Stairway To Heaven, but I havnt found any copies of the music to use as guidelines either. I'm really in a jam here so any help would be much appreciated.

ASCAP can help you get some information. I haven't used it before, but it looks helpful:

Didn't we already cover this about 2 weeks ago in the off topic forum for you? And weren't you told how to fix your problem? (To refresh your memory the answer is YES.And how do I know?? Simple, because I answered you.)
Just a quick recap of the previous answer.
In order to arrange a song you have to obtain permission to arrange from the song's copyright holder (usually the publisher.) I told you how to do this before. But to make it easy on you I've compiled a list for you.
For Bohemian Rhapsody you need to contact Hal Leonard.
For Stairway to Heaven you need to contact Warner Bros.
For Mr.Roboto you need to contact TMB Productions, LLC.
Use this form found here when contacting them. http://wgi.org/percussion/copyright/permissiontoarrange.pdf
Be warned (again)that they will charge you a fee.(And that it doesn't matter if it's for educational purposes.)
It took me all of 5 minutes to gather that information.(Plus I even found arrangements of Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody ALREADY arranged for Winter Percussion.) Like I said in my other post (remember the one where you already asked for help with this and received it?)...Google is a wonderful tool ...use it!! In fact, maybe if you searched these songs you'll discover that Mr. Roboto wasn't released until 1983 (on the Kilroy was here album) so it shouldn't be in a show titled the "Spirit of the 70's".
And again, I would be happy to arrange these charts as I arrange music as my primary source of income. (And in your previous post... the one where you already asked for help with this and received it...Someone else even said that there are definitely people on here that could arrange the charts for you for a price.)
So if I were you this is what I'd do. Purchase the aforementioned arrangements that already exist (they will be cheaper than commissioning them to be arranged.) and then have someone arrange Mr. Roboto for you.(or chose another song that already is arranged for winter percussion.)
or commission me or any one of a thousand arrangers to arrange the charts.
I hope that for a second time this helps you with this topic.
(p.s. If you look for the previous thread in the off topic section it has been purged already for inactivity.)

If you are looking for Mr. Roboto, im not sure about the other ones, Arrangers Publishing Company has it. My guess is they would also have the other ones, but you would have to check the site and search for that. As for the drills and everything, good luck!

lol thanks for all the advice you guys. And yes you did answer my question in the post before but I couldn't find it when I needed it, so I hoped you'd reply again.....and look where we are now.

Just a side note, Mr. Roboto was in 1983 not the 70's.

DANG!!!!! Well back to the drawing board....Thanks for the tip before it was too late.
