Sixth?

Today the show choir rankings came out and according to them, we're sixth in the country. When i first saw them I was ecstatic. We were the sixth best showchoir in the country! But when I looked at the rest of the list, my excitement quickly deminished. I looked at who was first, and saw it was a school I've never heard of. Second was Linn Mar and following them in third was Urbandale. Two schools separated us and Urbandale that I also didn't recognize. Now I'm not saying Linn Mar is bad, but Urbandale is definitely better. They've won two competitions, Linn Mar has won one. Urbandale's were both really hard, and Linn Mar's wasn't that difficult.

As I looked down the page I also was amazed at the fact that Washington is 14th and Totino Grace is in the 90's and Bemidji is in the eighties. Washington missed the finals at Linn Mar by a lot and Bemidji and Totino were both in it. Wash did win one competition, but it was against nobody schools. Those other schools are a lot better than Wash and everyone knows it. Wash people will even admit it. Although I do think some of the rankings are accurate like ours, Ankeny's (who is 13th), and a few others. But I feel as the year goes on, they will become much much more accurate. Only two or three competitions in, it's pretty much impossible to even get a close guess at the right rankings. But there is still no possible way that Linn Mar should have ended up in second. All of the numbers point to Urbandale, so I don't know why they would be in front of them.
