Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Contests on 11/29/11 9:11pm
Every once in a while, we have a pretty nice contest. This one is up there as one of the best. The good people of Brita and their
FilterForGood Music Project are bringing you, the fan of the Dave Matthews Band, an opportunity to win autographed posters by Dave Matthews! That's right, plural. Brita is offering up a poster from each stop of the 2011 DMB Caravan autographed by Dave to one lucky winner!
Brita is bringing this opportunity to you in honor of all the plastic water bottles saved this year by fans using reusable Nalgene bottles and free Brita filtered water! Just how much plastic was saved? Well... just head on over to the contest page and find out for yourself! And don't forget to enter! People really do win at Antsmarching.org! It's not just a catchy slogan we liberated from an 80's music television station!
UPDATE: We are pulling the winner tonight (December 7). If you haven't entered, get your enter on!
UPDATE: Congrats to Ants member coxml1 - the grand prize winner of the Brita Autographed posters! Thanks to everyone who entered (and there were a lot of ya!) See you all at the next contest.
Antsmarching.org Contest: Guess the Warehouse Disc
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Site News on 2/20/11 9:00am
The anticipation for the yearly Warehouse disc is high, as usual. We have decided to help focus that nervous energy of yours in the form of a guessing game. Guess what songs will be on the Warehouse 8 Disc.
The rules are pretty simple, to participate, you merely need to be a member of antsmarching.org, and pick the songs. The person who gets the most correct wins fabulous prizes! Here's the rules:
- The Order doesn't matter. Just pick 8 different songs, and the person who gets the most correct wins.
- Fill in the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker would be the total number of the last two digits of the year from the songs you pick. Whereas you only need to pick the songs by title in the drop-down picks, we want you to have an idea of which years those songs would come from. When you follow the link, you'll see an example if you're still confused. Closest to the tiebreaker will, believe it or not, break any ties if anyone ties in their picks for first.
- Choose from the songs listed only. Yes, not 'every' song is listed, but don't fret, if it's not listed, it's not going to make the disc anyway (probably...). So forget about taking a flier on Weight of the World.
Follow this link to the contest, and best of luck to all that enter! Contest ends the second the announcement is made, and we're time stamping, so don't bother trying to cheat. We got mad detective skills.
- UPDATE: Congratulations to Ants member Scanlan for successfully nailing 4/8 Warehouse songs, and missing the tiebreaker by a measly 2 points (or years). He guessed A Dream So Real, #40, Write A Song, and Kit Kat Jam correctly! He's won a slew of Ants swag among other luxurious prizes!
Some superlatives from the contest: The most commonly picked song was The Last Stop, and the most commonly picked correct song was Lying In The Hands Of God. The least most commonly picked correct song was poor ole #40.

If you didn't win, don't fret. There are still tickets available for the festival, including single-day passes for the 25th to see DMB headline that evening. Tickets are $85 and can be purchased from the 10kLF site directly.

So Be on the lookout for that as well. Thanks again to everyone who entered the contest!
