Update: You nominated the best local band in Loudoun County, and now the voting round of Patch's Readers' Choice 2012 begins.

Cast a vote to help crown a winner. Voting continues through 11:59 p.m. Aug. 17. Only one vote per user — tell your friends and family to log on to pick their favorite, too!

Original: There are dozens of local musicians and performers in the Loudoun County area — the group that played at your friend’s wedding, that 80s cover band that that takes you back to your high school days, that new jazz group trying to make it big.

But we want to know which Loudoun County-area band is your favorite.

Nominate the band you think should get the title of Patch’s Readers’ Choice Best Band in the comments section below.

We’ll keep accepting nominations through July 9. After that, nominations will be closed and we’ll start the voting, so make sure to get in your favorites now.

All you need to do to nominate a band is to add it in the comments below. If you already see the band you want to nominate, make sure to add your comment about why it should be included, because we may not be able to add all bands to our poll and we want to make sure the top ones make it into the poll.

Check out the other Readers’ Choice categories in Ashburn Patch and Leesburg Patch, too.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

And don’t forget to sign up for the Ashburn Patch Newsletter or the Leesburg Patch Newsletter to find out when voting starts so you can support your favorite band and see who wins.
