2009 CARA Award Nominee - Best High School Song
Superstition Solo - Jarrod Bowen
Karma Solo - Brittany Gibson
Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Deke Sharon
Originally Performed by - Alicia Keys & Stevie Wonder
(Jarrod)
Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way
No no no no no no
(Brittany)
Weren't you the one who said that you don't want me anymore
And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me
And still you said your love was gone and that I had to leave
Now you're Talking bout a family
Now you're saying I complete your dreams
Oh
Now you're sayin I'm your everything
You're confusing me
What you saying to me, don't play wit me, don't play wit me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back to
(Jarrod)
Very superstitious, writings on the wall
(Brittany)
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
(Jarrod)
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall
(Brittany)
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin'
(Group)
Very superstitious

2008 Best of High School A Cappella Compilation Selection
2009 CARA Award Nominee - Best High School Solo
Solo - Katie Campbell
Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Deke Sharon
Originally Performed by - Jewel
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
These hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
And they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
These hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
And they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are

Mexican Wine

Solo - Blake Shelton
Harmony - Jarrod Bowen
Vocal Percussion - Joe Bell
Arrangement - Deke Sharon
Originally Performed by - Fountains of Wayne
He was killed by a cellular phone explosion
They scattered his ashes across the ocean
The water was used to make baby lotion
The wheels of promotion were set into motion
But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
She lived alone in a small apartment
Across the street from the health department
She left her pills in the glove compartment
That was the afternoon her heart went
And the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
Won't you have another glass of Mexican wine
I used to fly for United Airlines
Then I got fired for reading High Times
My license expired in almost no time
Now I'm retired and I think that's fine
Because the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
Won't you have another glass of Mexican wine?

Solo - Alyssa Bernier
Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Matt Shineman
Originally Performed by Michelle Branch
I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I've been driving you crazy
and its keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
'Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say
And I Take it just a little bit
I, hold my breath and count to ten
I, I've been waiting for a chance to let you in
If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Well it's all so overrated
In not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what's real
And I Give you just a little time
I, Wonder if you realize
I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes
If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe
So I whisper in the dark,
Hoping you hear me
Do you hear me?
If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
Everything is alright if i just breathe... breathe
I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain

Solo - Katie Farrell
Solo - Shadoe Valentin
Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Jussi Doherty
Originally Performed by Rascal Flats with Carrie Underwood
(Katie)
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
(Shadoe)
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
(Katie & Shadoe)
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
(Katie)
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Yes He did)
(Katie)
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
(Katie & Shadoe)
But you just smile and take my hand
(Shadoe)
You've been there you understand
(Katie & Shadoe)
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
(Shadoe)
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Katie & Shadoe)
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
(Katie)
This much I know is true
(Katie & Shadoe)
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Katie)
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Solo - Michael Garand
Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Brian Haverkate
Originally Performed by Van Morrison
Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came ?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game,
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah.
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord,
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
My brown eyed girl

Solo - Alaina Mulligan
Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Jussi Doherty
Originally Performed by - Sixpence None the Richer
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name,
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes

Vocal Percussion - Blake Shelton
Arrangement - Deke Sharon
Originally Performed by Three Dog Night
Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
If I were the queen of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
Make sweet love to you
We're singin'
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight-shootin' son of a gun
I said a straight shootin' son of a gun
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to you and me
