Also, WDM Valley won the Twitter Champion award, with over 12,000 votes.
(Thanks to all of our members who probably sprained their thumbs)

Did you guys spend all day voting?!

Also, I'm trying to get some info on judges rankings and point spreads but does anybody else know?

Thanks, Andy. Looks like the Waukee streak isn't ending anytime soon!

I've said this before, but it would be really neat to see Waukee at a national competition. Not that Iowa isn't an incredibly tough show choir state, because it is, but I don't think Waukee is known very well nationally and a group this dominate deserves to be known.

I totally agree. I want another FAME Chicago 2008! Let's put Waukee against WV Sound Check, Wheaton, John Burroughs, and Clinton!

Just realized something crazy about Waukee: they have won 7 grand championships in a row, and 10 Best Vocals awards in a row. WOW WAUKEE.

I wish I could like your post 12 times over, thank you.

I'm at a competition myself so it will take awhile to get everything filled in (Jeff will probably swoop in and save the day), but needless to say it will all get entered as soon as we can. Greatly appreciate the extremely thorough and organized post.

P.S. One thing I forgot to mention is it ALWAYS SNOWS the weekend of Benton!

Nice call on the weather for this weekend, you ever think of going into meteorology?

West: lost to Valley at Waukee, beat Xavier at Waukee

Keep in mind too, that at Waukee, West won the day round and lost by a tiny margin for finals.
