These Talented Students Bust Their Butts

I am a former band parent, and a guy lucky enough to be the man on the mic for several band competitions, I have seen firsthand how passionate marching band fans can be. Matter of fact, some fans have flown right past passionate and are just plain crazy (in the best way possible). They are so passionate and supportive because they know how much time and energy, how much blood, sweat, and tears (literally) go into the programs that are put on the field each week. It is no small feat and it is most definitely worthy of all our support.

There is nothing that you or I can do to influence the results of these upcoming competitions - so we wanted to present you with something that you absolutely can have an impact on. Here's your chance to back your band and to vote for the best high school marching band in Western Kentucky.

*The bands are in alphabetical order, so it should be easy to find your favorite. There is also an option to write in any band that may have been omitted. And most importantly - vote as often as you want.
