Licensing is scoped before production. Tell me your event, season and video plans so the quote covers the intended use.
Most people in this market came to music through cheer. I came the other way — thirty years making records, three Billboard Dance Club Songs number ones, and a studio that finishes other people’s records for a living. Cheer is the newer line, and it started the ordinary way: my daughters compete.
What that buys a gym is not novelty. It is a mix built by someone who does this at a professional standard every week of the year, sourced from licensed catalogues, and handed over with paperwork a coach can put on the registration desk.
How the licensing works
Before the price
- Clearance before production
- The quote identifies the music source, required permissions and intended uses. Buying a consumer download does not by itself grant the rights to edit it into a competition mix.
- Paperwork for your event
- Keep the licensing documents with your routine and confirm your event producer’s current requirements before competing. Documentation is prepared for the team and the uses agreed in the project.
- Music sources
- Music is sourced from licensed catalogs. The selected provider’s terms determine permitted edits, coverage and any indemnity; these are confirmed before work begins.
- Video and social media
- A competition license may not cover video synchronization, streaming or social uploads. Include those plans in the brief so the required permissions can be checked and quoted.
- Returning next season
- License length, territory and team coverage depend on the selected music. Before reusing a mix, check whether the next season needs renewed permissions.

Licence costs are passed through at cost plus handling and are not included in the tier price — they vary by track and by catalogue, and marking them up quietly is how this market gets a bad name. A $199 deposit reserves the slot and comes off the total.

One thing I don't do
Every track needs the appropriate permissions before it enters a competition mix. Event requirements and licensing terms vary; we check the intended use before production. USA Cheer’s music provider directory is not an endorsement or a substitute for licensing. Read USA Cheer’s music guidance.
Send the routine, the eight-counts and the season. You get a quote and a licensing plan, in that order.
