Show Choir Rankings

The long awaiting, annual show choir rankings are finally up. Show choir ranking is a system an organization has come up with to place all show choirs in the nation. There are, of course, flaws in the system. If a show choir has only competed in one contest and did well, of course they’ll be at the top of the list; whereas a show choir who’s competed at a few competitions and did extremely well at two and got maybe third or second at the other one will be placed below the show choir who has only competed in one competition. The list will be updated throughout the year as the show choir season progresses. That will give everyone a more accurate look at how each show choir is doing. This list shouldn’t be taken to heart, but it’s a fairly decent source to refer to. Following are the top 100 show choirs in the nation, according to this system.

I’m very happy with these results. Cedar Rapids Kennedy is ranked 6th and, as far as I can recollect, hasn’t ever done this well. Last year they were placed 30th in the nation and felt that was pretty good. This is the best thing that could happen to boost our moral and get us going to achieve even greater things like getting into the top 5. It’s a great year to be in Happiness.
