<p>Is it permittable to use songs from movie musicals for auditions or is it strictly stage songs that must be used. For example if you wanted to sing something from an Astaire/Rogers movie would it be permitted?</p>
<p>My daughter had great success with a song from a movie musical from ~1950. It was her upbeat number and she did it at almost all of her schools and everybody commented positively on it.</p>
<p>My daughter's pre-1960 song was written by a well known MT composer but this song was written for a movie. She was accepted using this song and one of my students happens to be using it this cycle.</p>
<p>I think it would be fine, as long as there is no rule specifying against using songs from movie musicals (which I've never heard of).</p>
