Today, the marching music audience doesn’t actively participate in awarding their favorite performing units. But audience participation in marching music events can be an valuable way of adding excitement and entertainment to your event.

VolcanoScore is a text messaging-based audience scoring service built exclusively for marching music event organizers.

How it Works:

• Event organizers set up an account
• Event organizers create polls for their event
• Event sheets are created by VolcanoScore for event organizers to distribute to the audience, which will help guide audience voting
• Voting can be numeric, such as from 1-100 for each team, or simply “vote for your favorite team”
• Voting occurs by texting their response to a 5-digit number, such as “SCV 95”
• Results are tabulated and appear on volcanoscore.com in real time within your account, with trends for each performing unit. The result charts can also be placed on your own website as well

Additional Services:

• Cell phone numbers for participants can be purchased for an additional fee, as long as you agree to not abuse the service for solicitation purposes.
• A VolcanoScore trophy can be purchased to present to the winning team.
