Help Dunedin Win $15,000 for High School Music Program

Dunedin High's band director entered the school into Rack Room Shoes Gift of Music Video Contest for a shot at a $15,000 grant for its music program. Voting ends Jan. 11.

 

Dunedin High School needs you to help win $15,000 toward its music program.

Band director Ian Black nominated a video of the Scottish Highlander Band performing "Deck the Halls" in Rack Room Shoes' national Gift of Music Video Contest.

Four winning schools across the country will receive a $15,000 grant toward its music program, an Apple iPod Touch, a $500 iTunes gift card and a set of speakers.

To vote, simply click the "VOTE" button on Dunedin High School's online video entry. This link takes you directly to Dunedin's entry. The voting period runs through Jan. 11.

Dunedin High is one of 54 schools in Florida vying for one of the top prizes. Schools in at least 29 other states are participating, also. All entrants were required to submit a video performance of one of five classic holiday songs: "Deck the Halls," "Twelve Days of Christmas," "Up on the Housetop," "Jingle Bells," or "O Christmas Tree."

I've tried several time, but do not see the "vote" button on the link to the Dunedin entry - please provide clearer instructions and good luck.

Hi Joe, if you click the link provided, you will be taken to Dunedin's "page." Once you are there, you should see a red button in the very middle that says "vote now." It is located directly above the Youtube video.

I will place screen shots in the photos attached to this article.

Hello,
The Red vote button does not appear on the link Kate provided if you use Internet Explorer as your browser; I don't know why.
If you use Firefox or Chrome you can use the link Kate provided.
If you must use Internet Explorer;copy and paste the link below in your browser window and then scroll to the bottom and click VOTE NOW on Dunedin High Deck the Halls posting by Ian Black (in the last row):

the "vote now" button was right above the video, but clicking on it took me to a facebook sign-up/log-in option...is there any other way to vote for the band that doesn't involve facebook?

Hi Lizzie! I was not taken through the same Facebook sign-in, log-on option. Did anyone else have to sign-in to Facebook to vote?
