Ok - I know I am not seen on the board much but where else can I go to enlist the help of people?? My wife is a HS teacher and the band for the HS is on our local TV Stations site this week in some type of "battle of the bands" - whats weird is you can't see/hear either band - just vote in a poll.

Anyways - the winner of the Poll gets a pizza party and the competition has been stiff. Now these are both small schools - graduating class size has to be under 80 at each - yet the # of votes in the poll has been huge - I only say this because yesterday one vote only affected the poll by 0.05% - and now of course its even less.

This morning Tri-County (my wife's school) was up by about 3% and now they are down by almost 4% - tell me someone out there for the other school isn't bombarding the poll??? I can't even figgure out how they are managing it because from what I see you can only vote once per computer (IP) - maybe twice if you delete your 'cookies' and re-vote (sorry - getting too technical here).

ANYWAYS...... I'd appreciate any help in voting for Tri-County - only because my wife said she doesn't want to see her kids lose to the other school.

So - if you can go to the following link and vote it would be appreciated :-) I almost asked yesterday but decided not to because it would seem unfair - but after realizing that the other school must be getting lots of votes from somewhere I decided 'this means war!!' and hopped on here to ask for your vote :-)

Here is the link - please vote for "Tri-County" - if you think what I am doing is 'unfair' then by all means vote for the other school to foil my plan to win a pizza party for a bunch of 'band geeks' (I am a former 'band geek' myself so I use the term with pride - its a 'band geek' thing - you might not understand - lol).

Thanks!!!

Vote Here!!!

Don't know how, but it let me vote 8 times and I managed to bump it up by 0.1%. If I didn't have a job to attend to, I'd stay there all day for ya.

Good Luck!!

As a fellow band geek, I voted a few times

Edited to add: The percentages were changing for me, but someone was either voting fast for the other band or multiples voting at the same time, because the numbers for Tri went DOWN as I voted. I'll try again later too!

I don't understand the results ~ one minute it was 48.10% for Tri-County then it was 48.06% ???

And how is Seeger still in the lead! Gonna have to spread the word.

Thanks all - I suspect there is a way to vote multiple times from one PC - but I have yet to figgure it out....

I deleted my cookies and voted again yesterday and that seemed to work once - but only once.

Having run poll's on my own site I know that you can restrict voting to once per "IP" - and I suspect thats how this poll is set up - but there are ways around it and I think some computer geek at Seeger has figgured it out - (evil evil Seeger!!!! lol).

I wish we could see the total number of votes - if my calculations are right then if it took 20 votes yesterday to swing the vote 1% that means that there were already what 1,000 or 2,000 votes cast?? Seems like a lot for the size of these two schools. Heck in the Heisman voting at voteheisman.com the top vote getter (another local - Kyle Ortman) only had 4,000 votes.

Anyways - thanks for voting - not sure if more than one vote counts - but its appreciated :-)

I voted, and will vote again when I get home on a different IP.....it was good to see Indiana High Schools listed. I supervised student teachers at some of them!

Too bad we can't hear the band.

PS....Tri-County is still behind.
