    Support the Duke Marching Band on Amazon.com

    As many of you have heard over the past few years, our marching band is underfunded. There is an easy way to support the band when you make purchases from Amazon. Use the link below anytime you make a purchase on Amazon and the band will receive a significant portion of that sale. Click on the link to the Duke Band Alumni web site. Scroll down to the portal for Amazon and use it to access the web site when you purchase.

    26 days until the first kickoff... time to back our band!

    I've heard from several people who have made their recent Amazon purchases through the portal on the alumni band's web page. It's easy and helps our band fund stipends for band members and cover other expenses which are part of operating a Division I program.

    or if you're feeling especially awesome, you can donate straight to the band, too!

    There are indeed multiple ways to support the band! One way is a direct contribution. Purchasing through the Amazon link is another way.

    Not mentioned on the web site is a a fundraiser my tailgate group will be conducting during the football season again this year.

    The point is to spread the word about the multiple choices available and encourage others to support the band's financial needs.

    Don't they have Band Boosters at Duke?
    Joking aside and as a former parent of a marching band player ( and VP of the Band Boosters) its a shame that with all the money this university has the Marching Band needs to rely on handouts.

    Not to put a damper on this... but DBR also has one of those Amazon link arrangements. So, now... where to go to get to Amazon My purchases are generally limited.
