Alumnus sells fight song ringtones
This is a wonderful success story. A father and University of Iowa alumnus has sold more than 400 high school and college fight song ringtones at $5 each since he started his business last year, according to a story published by the Iowa Press Citizen.
"When his daughter joined the Hawkeye Marching Band two years ago, Charlie Card thought it would be great to show his support by playing the University of Iowa's fight song on his cell phone. Now the self-proclaimed "die-hard Hawkeye fan" has turned his dea into a side business.
Card's initial intention was to only sell the Hawkeye fight song. But he began making arrangements to start his own business after buying several books of music anthologies, each containing a couple of hundred fight songs".
Fans can order school fight song ringtones for their cell phones at SchoolFightSongs.com.
