Maria_b15 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey everyone, Not sure if DCP is really the place to put this kinda thing right now, but I figured I'd give it a shot. My name is Maria Brandone and I'm from Boise, Idaho. Yes, I go to Boise State, and yes, I march on the blue field. (Don't hold it against me!) hah,:) I recently marched the 2011 season in the Front Ensemble at Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps. I am planning on marching until I age out which will be the 2014 season. With camps and auditions right around the corner, I have started a little business to help pay for things such as flights out of Idaho (Which, actually can become very expensive!), camps, audition books and even tuition. Upon returning home from this summer, I found tons of hemp and beads, and began to make bracelets. My stores name is called "InfinityCords" and you can visit it at http://www.etsy.com/shop/InfinityCords?ref=si_shop This store lets me sell my bracelets to many people all over the country. The money I make goes right into my own account which i've been using just for drum corps. To me, this is a lot more fun then just asking random people for money to help pay for summer tuition. Plus, you don't have to be bugged about donating a ton of money, when a bracelet costs just about 5-7 dollars. If you guys have a second, please check out my store! Also, I have been making custom bracelets, such as ones that say "BAC", "HLD", "SPLOOIE", and "BONES" !(: I'd be more than willing to make a bracelet just for you to help out with my summer fees. Just shoot me a message at my store, on here, or on facebook. I'd love to hear from you guys. I love this activity for this reason alone. I add new bracelets almost every day, so you should always check back later on if there is nothing you see that you like. If nothing else, I hope you can spread the word to all of your other friends who may enjoy my bracelets. All you have to do is go to the bottom left and click the Facebook "like" box, and post it on your facebook!:) My goal is for at least one person to be wearing one of my bracelets at every show I perform at this summer!:) Again, I hope that you guys consider helping me out this season as I try to raise money for corps! Thanks again, Maria Brandone Mariabrandone@u.boisestate.edu http://www.etsy.com/shop/InfinityCords?ref=si_shop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PepsimanAB Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Mine just came in the mail today, and I'm already thinking about ordering a couple more to give as stocking stuffers. Definitely worth checking out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryM Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Such a GREAT idea to help pay for their tuition! I really like this concept! Good to know there are people that still can be creative in getting things done! Ordering mine now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
