Some minor changes for season 114:

- The maximum vote count has been reduced from 5 votes to 3 votes per division

- Voting will be split up into two stages: preliminary and finals. Division winners will be decided during the preliminary stage while an OVERALL winner will be decided during the final stage

- Preliminary voting starts the first day of week 5 (August 2nd) and ends the day before FMA prelims scores are released (August 5th @ 8PM EST)

- Final voting starts immediately after the division winners are announced and ends when final scores are released (August 8th @ 8PM EST)

The rest of the rules:
- Voting will start during Week 5 to account for late entries or other changes
- You cannot vote for your own groups
- You may cast up to THREE votes per division
- Groups that are not scheduled in any competitions or are obviously fundraising or inactive have been omitted
- PM me if your group is not listed, if you want your group removed, or if there are any errors (you have until week 5 to do so)

If you know what division you'll be in this season feel free to add your group now and format your entry how you see fit, otherwise I'll be adding all groups when divisions are announced

And here is the Marching Band poll!

Voting ends in less than 24 hours. We have a good number of votes but the more the merrier, so if you haven't done so already go and cast your votes!

Lemon, the marching band poll links to the drum corps spreadsheet.

The plan initially was for me to add the MB shows to that spreadsheet, but I started putting the MB poll together quite late and with my inexperience in Excel, I wasn't able to add those shows. Sorry about that!

And for the marching band circuit:

Pentium Outdoor Performance Ensemble!

Thank you once again for everyone who voted! I really appreciate it, and you guys have made a small corps from a small country insanely happy!
Our members cannot express their gratitude enough. Even though we failed to win a medal in Season 114, this is arguably a similar great feeling to winning a medal.
Once again, thank you all!
