This year, Fathom Events invites fans to show their "badge of honor" by submitting a photo of them with their favorite corps or in their favorite corps colors.



Fathom will reward an entry with two free passes to Big, Loud & Live 9 each week leading up to the event, at which point they'll announce the Grand Prize winner. The corps with the most entries will be announced during the pre-show, and everyone who supported the winning corps will win a customized set of "digital skins" featuring the winning corps.
