"I'm Yours" (Jason Mraz)
Arranged by: Jessie Hu
Soloist: Zach Griffen, Counter: Amanda Nipper
Vocal Percussion: Graham Showell
From Washington University After Dark's annual concert, "A Light from the Darkness", which took place in Graham Chapel at Washington University in St. Louis on January 31, 2009.
After Dark has been singing at Washington University since September 2001 and is known on campus for their sleek black and white attire, rocking arrangements, hip choreography, and (you guessed it) nocturnal melody-making. Recently, they have performed at various venues, including St. Louis University, U. of Illinois, U. of Wisconsin-Madison, U. of Michigan, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and on the nationally syndicated Steve & DC Morning Show. In Oct. 2008, After Dark entered the political spotlight by performing their original song, "I've Got a Crush on Joe Biden & Sarah Palin," live on national television for CBS' The Early Show during coverage of the Vice-Presidential Debate for an estimated 2.9 million viewers.
Their most recent album, Eclipse, received CARA awards for Best Co-Ed Collegiate Song and Best Co-Ed Arrangement. "Mama's Room," was selected for the Voices Only 2007 and the SING IV compilation albums. "Ready For Love" appeared on Voices Only 2008. Eclipse is available for purchase on iTunes or by visiting http://www.acatunes.com/album/386.
This year, the group once again plans to compete in the International Championships of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) and hold their annual concert "A Light from the Darkness." Auditions are held every Fall. For more information, please visit the group's website at:

all in all a good arrangement, just one suggestion would to pick up the tempo a small bit, its seems a bit too relaxed and jason mraz articulates so well in this song, and you should attempt for the fast talking style that he has as well.

This is really good. The soloist accentuates words oddly, but it's easily overlookable.
