Removing the DRM protection would be a violation of the DMCA. You will need to purchase/download non DRM protected versions of the songs. Even after doing so, using them in a public presentation could be a copyright violation in itself.
These are iTunes purchases? You need to use pay for Match to replace the songs without Apple's FairPlay DRM.
It used to be possible to pay to indivually convert the files to 'iTunes Plus' files which have no DRM. You may see that mentioned if you search around, I don't think that is possible anymore.
For a few years after Apple stopped selling DRM protected music they had an Apple Plus policy where you could upgrade DRM music to non-DRM for a small fee. This was discontinued. The only way to do it now through Apple is to subscribe to the Match service which may not be worth it for one or two tracks. You can also try re-purchasing the track at full fee.
Remember you can burn DRM music to audio format CD which will behave as any normal audio CD does.
