How to raise funds for a performance - Digital Download Cards

To help with the cost of a performance, we can provide digital download cards of a SOLID BRASS recording to you at $2 each.  You can sell them as a fundraiser for any price you'd like (say $10).  If you sold (maybe through your Board) 200 cards, you would make a net of $1600, to pay for the concert.  The best part of this offer is that there is no risk to you whatsoever!  We will buy back any unsold cards.
