Whoops...I think the notification I have set up to tell us there are videos in the queue is broken! There are a bunch in the queue I need to go approve...damn technology, why can't it just work! Edit: Ok, maybe not a "BUNCH", but there were 15 submissions, 7 of them were dead links. Really does highlight the hardship we have finding working videos to link

I did some digging in our database and found 3 ties at ISU (Before last night). 2 in prelims and 1 in finals. ISU Seems to be a bit inconsistent in how they report ties. In 2011, Pontiac and Providence Catholic tied for 5th place in 2A. The score sheet lists them both as Rank5 in class and Rank19 1a-4a: http://ilmarching.com/uploads/ISU1A-4A.xls In 2012, Naperville Central and Warren Township tied for 6th place in 6A. The score sheet lists them both as Rank6 in class and Rank11 in 5a-6a. http://ilmarching.com/uploads/ISU20125A-6Arecapprelims.pdf In 2013, Lake Part and Lincoln-Way North tied for 4th place in Finals. The score sheet lists Lake Park as 4th and LWN as 5th. Presumably, they used the overall GE score as the tie breaker. http://ilmarching.com/uploads/ISUFinals_2013.xls And as we know, last night LWE and VJA tied in 5A. The sheet has them both listed as Rank2 in Class and Rank4 overall. Also Morton and LWE tied in finals. The sheet has them both listed as Rank 7. Originally, I thought they might only apply a tie breaker in finals, but that proved wrong with last nights sheet. My only guess is since the give plaques to bands 14-5, and trophies to 4-1, they had to make a distinction in 2013 for Lake Park and LWN...but I don't see any notes or explanation on any of the sheets. Hooray for data!! I love having archives of all this stuff

If you could send me the individual icons (or I may just be able to crop them apart)...I might be able to make these available to everyone on the forums to use as profile pictures. Obviously with your permission of course

Hey Everyone! So like last year, we are going to allow the public to also vote in our Bands of the Year voting. In years past, this was only for directors, judges, IMO staff, etc. Two years ago, we introduced a public voting scheme, which has been pretty popular in the past. We will take all of the public votes and aggregate them. This ballot will be counted as a single ballot in the official voting. In order to vote, you will need to signup using our BotY registration process. That can be found at http://ilmarching.com/publicBotySignup.php When you signup, you will be sent an email giving you instructions on how to proceed. Please note, if you signed up last year, you need to sign up again!! We purged the database of all last years results, including public registration. We hope you will take part in this…it is always a lot of fun every year for the staff, and we hope you all have fun with it too! ~The ILMarching Staff

That may or may not be a good thing...I usually muted the announcers during the original broadcast. They were annoying to listen to.
