have starred in all the school's productions

and we really welcome newcomers,

There are a lot of supporting roles,

l'm sure we could find something for you,

No, no, no, l was just looking at

all the bulletin boards,

Lots going on at this school, Wow,

Nice penmanship,

So, Troy, l missed you during vacation,

What'd you do?

You know, um... played basketball,

snowboarding, more basketball,

- When's the big game?

- Two weeks,

You are so dedicated,

Just like me,

l hope you come watch me in the musical,

Promise?

- Toodles!

- Toodles,

Dude, you know that school musical thing?

You get extra credit just for auditioning?

- Who cares?

- lt's always good to get extra credit...

...for college...

Think LeBron James or Shaquille O'Neal

auditioned for their school musical?

- Maybe,

- Troy,

The music in those shows isn't hip-hop,

or rock, or anything essential to culture,

lt's, like, show music,

lt's all costumes and makeup...

- Oh, dude, it's frightening,

- l know, l thought it'd be a good laugh,

- Sharpay's kinda cute, too,

- So is a mountain lion,

But you don't pet it,

All right, Wildcats! Pair up!

Let's go! Come on!

b"Get'cha Head in the Game"/b

Coach said to fake right and break left

Watch out for the pick

and keep an eye on defense

Gotta run the give and go

and take the ball to the hole

And don't be afraid

to shoot the outside ''J''

Just keep your head in the game

Just keep your head in the game

And don't be afraid

to shoot the outside ''J''

Just keep your head in the game

You gotta get your head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our,

get our head in the game

You gotta get your,

get your head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our,

Come on, get your,

get your head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our,

get our head in the game

You gotta get your,

get your head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our,

get our head in the game

Whoo!

Let's make sure

that we get the rebound

'Cause when we get it

then the crowd'll go wild

A second chance, gotta grab it and go

Maybe this time we'll hit the right notes

Wait a minute, not the time and place

wait a minute, get my head in the game

Wait a minute

get my head in the game

Wait a minute, wait a minute

l gotta get my, get my head in the game

You gotta get your, get your,

You gotta get your, get your, get your,

Why am l feeling so wrong?

My head's in the game

but my heart's in the song

She makes this feel so right

Should l go for it?

l better shake this, Yikes!

l gotta get my,

get my head in the game

You gotta get your, get your,

get your, get your head in the game

l gotta get my,

get my head in the game

You gotta get your, get your,

get your, get your head in the game

Come on, get my,

get my head in the game

You gotta get your, get your,

get your, get your head in the game

l gotta get my,

You gotta get your, get your,

get your, get your head in the game

Whoo!

- What team?

- Wildcats!

- What team?

- Wildcats!

- What team?

- Wildcats!

- Wildcats!

- Get your head in the game!

So, it seemed like you knew Troy Bolton,

Not really,

He was just showing me around,

Well, Troy usually doesn't

interact with new students,

- Uh, why not?

- lt's pretty much basketball 24/7 with him,

- That should be 16 over pi...

- Yes, Miss Montez?

l'm sorry, l was just... Uh...

Shouldn't the second equation

read 16 over pi?

l stand corrected,

Oh... and welcome aboard,

- Catch you later, guys,

- OK,

Troy Bolton was looking at our audition list,

Again?

He was hanging around with that new girl

and they were both looking at the list,

There's something freaky about her,

Where did she say she's from?

Wow! An Einsteinette,

So why do you think she's interested

in our musical?

l'm not sure that she is, And we needn't

concern ourselves with amateurs,

But... there is no harm in making certain

that Gabriella's welcome to

school activities that are...

...well, appropriate for her,

After all...

...she loves pi,

Gold! More gold!

Paint, paint! Let's go!

- The answer is yes!

- Huh?

Our scholastic decathlon team

has its first competition next week,

and there is certainly a spot for you,

- Where did those come from?

- Didn't you put them in my locker?

- Of course not,

- Well, we'd love to have you on our team,

We meet almost every day after school,

Please?

l need to catch up on the curriculum here

before l think about joining any clubs,

Well, what a perfect way to get caught up,

Meeting with the smartest kids in school,

- What a generous offer, Taylor,

- So many new faces in detention today,

l hope you don't make a habit of it,

but the drama club can always use

an extra hand,

And while we are working, let us probe

the mounting evils of cell phones,

Come on, guys, huddle up!

We got two weeks to the big game,

Where's Troy and Chad?

Don't make me ask again,

- Where's Troy and Chad?!

- Detention,

Perhaps the most heinous example of

cell-phone abuse is ringing in the theater,

What temerity!

The theater is a temple of art,

- A precious cornucopia of creative energy,

- Where's my team, Darbus?

What the heck are those two

doing in a tree?

lt's called crime and punishment, Bolton,

Besides, proximity to the arts

is cleansing for the soul,

Can we have a talk, please?

And you two, in the gym, now!

lf they have to paint sets for detention,

they could do it tonight, not during practice,

lf these were theater performers,

would you seek special treatment?

Darbus, we are days away

from our biggest game of the year,

And we, Bolton, are in the midst of our

auditions for our winter musicale as well!

This school is about more than

just young men in baggy shorts

flinging balls for touchdowns!

Baskets! They shoot baskets,

Stop! Guys, listen,

you've been having this argument

since the day you both started

teaching here,

We are one school, one student body,

one faculty!

Can we not agree on that?

So, Coach, how's the team lookin'?

- Troy got 'em whipped into shape?

- Oh!

West High Knights have knocked us out

of the playoffs three years running,

and now we are one game away from

taking that championship back from 'em!

lt's time to make our stand,

The team is you,

You are the team,

And this team does not exist

unless each and every one of you

is fully focused on our goal, Am l clear?

- Hey, what team?!

- Wildcats!

- What team?

- Wildcats!

- What team?

- Wildcats!

- Wildcats!

- Get your head in the game!

We've never made it past the first round

of the scholastic decathlon,

You could be our answered prayer,
