The performance can be a song or routine from a game, competition or practice. Deadline for entries is Sept. 22. Beginning Oct. 1, viewers can tune to Channel 411, access the “vote with remote” category and watch the school’s video you want to vote for. Each view is a vote. The band and cheer squad with the most votes between Oct. 1-Nov. 15 will win $1,000 each and a trophy.
