Let’s take a look at the Sweet Sixteen winners and where we stand heading into the Elite Eight. You can vote for your favorite band by using this Google Form or at the end of this post.

Blue & White Region

In a victory as close as ever, JR Mangan Band squeaked out 51.3% of the vote over No. 1-seeded My Hero Zero in the Sweet Sixteen.

No. 2 Anchor&Arrow will challenge JR and Veronica following a considerable victory over No. 3 OK Otter.

In a battle of the Cafe 210 West mainstays, only one can emerge victorious.
