We let you vote. And after more than 6,200 votes the winner of the Best Marching Band on the Western Slope is ...

The Palisade Bulldogs Marching Band!

This vote was not based on any head to head competition, it was simply an online poll where anyone could have voted as many times as they wanted. Maybe not the most scientific, but it was fun to watch!

The 2016 Bands of America Class AA Regional Champions has a long and prestigious history. It got its start in 1928 by Cleon Dalby.

So, here are the final results:

• Palisade Bulldogs - 36.5 per cent - 2,253 votes
• Central High Warriors - 31.5 per cent - 1,951
• Cedaredge Bruins - 21 per cent - 1315
• Fruita Monument - 7 per cent - 439
• Grand Junction Tigers - 3.5 per cent - 220

Again, this was not a scientifically done poll. There was no Standard & Practices involved. Just having some fun.
