The Calgary Round-Up Band is a youth marching band in Calgary and area that provides Jr. High students the opportunity to perform, travel the world, and make great friends! The problem is, they've been playing on the same old and busted instruments forever and they don't get a tonne of funding to buy new instruments.
You can see some of the kids demonstrating said busted instruments on Breakfast Television:

Pepsi is holding a contest in which Round-Up could win $25 000 that they would put towards purchasing new instruments and equipment for the kids. The way that this contest works is that the top two voted ideas in their category will be awarded the grant. Round-Up has been flipping between 2nd and 3rd for the past couple days, so it's a really tight race!
The contest ends tonight at 10 PM!
You do have to sign up for an account to vote, but it is pretty quick and painless. You can vote once per e-mail address. Just go to

Thanks guys!
