Also late to vote, but glad Jessica got the viola! Maybe she could make a little video of herself playing it?

Huh… when I went to school in Miami, it was all called band, and I should know… I had band for all my electives one year, taking bass clarinet in one class and regular clarinet at advanced class in the other.

Times DO move on, and my apologies.

Dammit, the one day I DON’T check your site for an update… so I missed the voting. That was a cute little bit of claymation, and reading forward, glad Jessica got rewarded for it.

But I want to call you out as a liar right here and now: I know for a fact that your niece never played viola in band.

… the proper term is “orchestra.” “Band” has no stringed instruments at all. ;)

Just went to violaman.com to see what they were going to do about the tie. Long story short, the other guy in the tie donated his votes to Jessica – so she won! Grats to you BBB for helping your relative out. And thanks to all who voted (I got to this thread WAY too late).

I two went to try and vote but was not able to. What is really sad is how the “violaman” handled all of this mess. To come out and attack and accuse someone of the things he did, when it was his own shortsightedness that caused the issues in the first place. Even in one of his forum posts he says that he did not even think he would ever get 3 posts. So what it seems he was after was some free advertisement for his site and is now trying to get out of having to honer his contest. I hope that is not the case, for Jessica’s sake, but I would not hold my breath. OH and Great Video Jessica!!!

Just registered with the intention of voting. It’s still the 29th here, but the website is showing the 30th, and I can’t find anywhere to vote. At the moment, it’s tied 45 votes for each of them. Best of luck to her!

Fourthed! I went to vote, but alas no vote button since it’s stuck in UTC timezone and I can’t see where to change that :(

Grrr, same issue as Iru and Cinder. I’d like to vote to push her over the edge, but no vote button is availble for me :\

6.30 BST – poll apparently not long closed on a tie. Too late for me to vote, sadly, but if they do voting for the winner of the tie, let us know.

@cinder: same here. I think it’s a timezone think

@bbb: violaman.com shows jessica & headcheese a dead heat now, and some people ticked that she got some very late support

Seems like the Internet IS for drama. Who knew?
