OPINIONS PLEASE: Is the song "Breakaway" an appropriate song to sing for a school graduation-type exercise?

Yes. these also work

"Today" - Smashing Pumkins

"End of the Road" - Boys II Men

"You Lean" - Alanis Morissette

"Fly" - Sugar Ray

"Time of Your Life" - Green Day

"The Dance" - Garth Brooks

"I Will Remember You" - Sarah Mclachlan

"Arms Wide Open" - Creed

"I'm Moving On" - Rascal Flatts

"There You'll Be" - Faith Hill

"I Hope You Dance" - Lean Womack

"Graduation Song" - Vitamin C

"Photograph" - Nicleback

That's a good song, for sure. Reason: It's all in the lyrics. Nothing better than "spreading your wings" and "learn how to fly" for when you're getting out of school. Not forgetting "the ones that I love" is also good. The entire song is perfect for it. Also, it's a relatively easy song to sing in terms of vocals. Less anxiety over doing runs.

And, for a classic: Don't Stop Believin'!

Have fun, congrats on graduating!

Yes, of course! It's an awesome song with great lyrics and meaning. Go for it!

WHY NOT? IN MY OPINION IT WAS A VERY FIT SONG FOR A HS GRADUATION.. ESPECIALLY THE LYRICS.. SO MEANINGFUL. I LOVE THAT SONG

I think it is because your out of high school and you need to break away from everything. so yes
