2020 Best of High School A Cappella Selection Solo - Prabh Saini Vocal Percussion - Wedler Lordeus Arrangement - Tom Anderson A song a day for six years seems like light years away from today (Hey, hey, hey, hey) Too many coincidences and instances of God's hand, it's insane (Hey, hey, hey, hey) I thought my way to greatness I could claim this, but he gave me the brain (hey, hey, hey, hey) You know what I'm saying? And those thoughts can get confusing, it's amusing But tonight, we celebrate (hey, hey, hey, hey) Lay me down, put me out Call me home, let me know I'm ready to go 'Cause I was down, now, I've flown Oh, what's reality lately? Remember dreams seemed far away Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece And I don't mean John Travolta Remember dreams seemed far away Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece And I don't mean John Travolta And I don't mean John Travolta, yeah And I don't mean John Travolta Dancing under sunset, in the mountains, just reflecting for the day (Hey, hey, hey, hey) I've seen this in my head a million times But to see it come to life is just insane (hey, hey, hey, hey) Champagne and orange juice Mimosas were Pulp Fiction in the way (hey, hey, hey, hey) That all can get confusing, it's amusing, but tonight (ooh, ooh, ooh, celebrate) Lay me down, put me out Call me home, let me know I'm ready to go 'Cause I was down, now, I've flown Oh, what's reality lately? (oh) Remember dreams seemed far away Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece And I don't mean John Travolta Remember dreams seemed far away Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece And I don't mean John Travolta Put me out Call me home, let me know I'm ready to go 'Cause I was down, now, I've flown Oh, what's reality lately? (oh) Remember dreams seemed far away Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece And I don't mean John Travolta Remember dreams seemed far away Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece And I don't mean John Travolta Far away, Hardaway Holiday, don't mean John Travolta Far away, Hardaway Holiday, don't mean John Travolta Lay me down, put me out Call me home (Holiday, don't mean John Travolta) (Don't mean John Travolta) Call me home I'm ready to go Written By - Jonathan Bellion, Mark Williams, Raul Cubina, Travis Mendes

Cool/Fire 04:32
2020 CARA Nominee for Best Scholastic Original Song Original Song by Gabrielle Macafee Solo - Phillip Stringham Arrangement - Tom Anderson Nervous and pacing I can’t take my eyes off of you Hopeless, I lose sight of all that I wanted to do So I’ll pick it up and pretend it’s nothing You’ll move to something new I’ll trick myself into breathing But I’m freaking out I’ve never been the one to lead a crowd Feigning my existence to appease the ones who shout And even when I’m at my tallest I’m the smallest in the room But then you come along and the wind caves to your moves cause you’re so cool you’re so cool I’m taught to be patient But I want to know how it ends Cause I’m finding out that I’m lonely Despite all my friends Breath in Breath out I’m losing my pace as I face all the monsters that call out my name So, count to three To be the hero in my dreams I’ve never been the one to lead a crowd Feigning my existence to appease the ones who shout And even when I’m at my tallest I’m the smallest in the room But then you come along and the wind caves to your moves cause you’re so cool you’re so cool So when my heartbeat gives out at the sound of your voice And I try to stay silent to cut through the noise I’m alone And it’s all I know So I’ll escape to the city, get lost in the crowd I’ll find a power in trusting myself And I’m alone It’s all I know And I am fire I am fire But you’re so cool Written by - Gabrielle Macafee

2020 CARA Winner for Best High School Solo Solo - Ryleigh Plank Sax Solo - Isabella Sbarra-Michelland Vocal Percussion - Wedler Lordeus Arrangement - Tom Anderson Originally Performed By - Melt Can I help you find what you're looking for? If not, then I'll be on my way. I don't know what you'll find anymore and I won't make you stay, no. I'm just a host to those who rule my mind and now I'm feeling this way all the time. They push me down, they're keeping me alive and I don't know what's real and what's inside. Real or what's inside. When my mind went blank I understood but now it feels like a game. Why does something so dark make me feel so good? Oh, the pull, it doesn't have a name - no. I'm just a host to those who rule my mind and now I'm feeling this way all the time. They push me down, they're keeping me alive and I don't know what's real and what's inside. Real or what's inside. [Instrumental] Watching my lies spill onto the floor - a battle I'll fight on my own. She's taking me over to my core but I'll take my strength from her bones. I'm just a host to those who rule my mind and now I'm feeling this way all the time. They push me down, they're keeping me alive and I don't know what's real and what's inside. Real or what's inside. I'm just a host to those who rule my mind and now I'm feeling this way all the time. They push me down, they're keeping me alive and I don't know what's real and what's inside.

Original song by Gabrielle Macafee Solo - Talia Tumminello Vocal Percussion - Wedler Lordeus Arrangement - Tom Anderson I know I got it, yeah, I know I got it A hundred miles an hour and I don’t know how to stop it I’m usually quiet but I feel kind of brave right now. I know you saw me, yeah, I know you saw me Dancing in the light I didn’t feel the pressure on me Until I saw your face in the crowd. And we don’t talk anymore Since the start of the war Is it all in my head? And I know it’s just a game But if you put down the blade We can work it out. And I’m giving it a shot so Call off the dogs I’m coming alive Wanna dance to the beat but you’re ready to fight So take it down, I can pull ya down Bare your teeth, I’m gunnin’ for us anyway Call off the dogs, and move a little closer Feel the beat and let it take over Take it down, you’ll never cool me down ‘Cause I’m on fire but I’m never gonna burn You know I got, yeah, you know I got it But you broke my heart and I don’t know how to right it When I find myself, will you still be the same? I told you I’m fine, I’m doing alright But the ghost is haunting me tonight So I’ll call ya from a thousand miles away But we don’t talk anymore Since the start of the war Or is it all in my head I know it’s just a game But if you put down the blade We can work it out And I’m giving it a shot so Call off the dogs I’m coming alive Wanna dance to the beat But you’re ready to fight So take it down I can pull ya down So bare your teeth I’m gunnin’ for us anyway Call off the dogs And move a little closer Feel the beat and let it take over Take it down You’ll never cool me down Cause I’m on fire and I’m never gonna burn Cause I’ve spent too many nights Loving fear and taking flight Away from everything I thought I’d change And I think it’s about time I face the fear and let it die Remind myself I’m gonna be okay Call off the dogs I’m coming alive Wanna dance to the beat But you’re ready to fight So take it down I can talk you down Call off the dogs And move a little closer Feel the beat and let it take over Take it down You’ll never cool me down Cause I’m on fire and I’m never gonna burn Yeah, I’m fine I’m doing alright Written by Gabrielle Macafee
