There is nothing like a high school band family.  If you know, you know.  As we march into the home stretch of the 2025 high school marching band season, let's show our favorite bands some love.  They not only keep us pumped up during varsity and sometimes junior varsity football and basketball games.  They also travel all over the state of Michigan for band competitions.  Band members and their supportive families are incredibly busy.

Nominations will run from Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, through Friday, November 7th. Only one nomination is necessary per high school band.  Nominations do not count as votes. This poll will ONLY include high schools from the following Michigan counties...
