So I'm gonna sing. What about you?

- l don't know, Troy,

- Well, you need to say yes.

Because I brought you something.

What do you mean?

Turn around.

This could be the start of something new

lt feels so right to be here with you

Oh

And now lookin' in your eyes

l feel in my heart

The start of something...

...new

lt's a pairs audition,

Whoo,

Yeah!

Zn4, and by doing that,

you end up with two...

...and two, Got it?

Yes!

What's happening?

Come here, Go ahead

and put five grams of this in,

and that causes it to change

from an acidic state,

Causing the color to change from

pink to blue,

Just like those pH strips,

Oh, gotta go, See you guys later!

Whoa!

You're late!

...strength to believe

We're soarin'

Flyin'

There's not a star in heaven

that we can't reach

Bop bop bop...

lf we're tryin'

Yeah, we're breakin' free

Wow, They sound good,

Like a wave the ocean just...

We have to do something,

OK, our callbacks on Thursday

and the basketball game

and scholastic decathlon are on Friday,

Too bad all these events weren't

happening on the same day...

...at the same time,

That wouldn't work out because then Troy

and Gabriella wouldn't be able to make...

l'm proud to call you my sister,

l know,

l don't want to hear any more

about Troy and that Montez girl,

So, if you're telling me as co-presidents of

the drama club that changing the callbacks

would be what's best for our theater

program, l might actually agree with you,

ls that a yes?

Bop bop bop, up to the top

And wipe away your inhibitions

Stomp, stomp, stomp

do the romp and strut your stuff

Bop bop bop, straight to the top...

No problem at all,

lt was crazy, man,

Callbacks the same time as the game?

- And the scholastic decathlon,

- Why would they do that?

- l smell a rat named Darbus,

- l think two rats, neither named Darbus,

Do you know something about this,

small person?

Miss Darbus thinks

she's protecting the show,

but Ryan and Sharpay are

only concerned with protecting themselves,

Do you know what l'll do to

those two show dogs?

Nothing, We're not gonna do

anything to them,

Except to sing, maybe,

Now this is only gonna happen if

we all work together,

- Now who's in?

- You know l'm in,

A pi pie,

- Oh, my goodness!

- Oh, my gosh!

What? Thank you!

- Oh, we have something for you too,

- Yeah, come here, look,

Ta-da!

Oh... it's an equation,

Oh!

That's awful!

Stay right there, Watch,

From our team, to yours,

G - O - D - R - A - M - A- C- L - U - B

Exclamation point,

Well, seems we Wildcats are in for

an interesting afternoon,

Go,

G-O-D... dra,, Go dra... Go dray...

- Ugh!

- Drame?

How you feeling?

- Nervous,

- Yeah, me too,

- Wish l could suit up and play with you,

- Hey, you had your turn,

You know what l want from you today?

- The championship,

- Well, that'll come or it won't,

What l want is for you to have fun,

l know all about the pressure,

Probably too much of it has come from me,

What l really want is to see my son

having the time of his life

playing the game we both love,

You give me that, and l will sleep with a

smile on my face no matter what the score,

Thanks, Coach... uh...

...Dad,

Welcome to

the tenth annual Scholastic Decathlon.

The East High Wildcats

versus the West High Knights.

Hello! Right here, right here,

- Mah, mah, mah!

- Mah, mah, mah!

- Eeh! Eeh!

- Ow! Ow!

Stop!

- l trust you,

- Energy,

- Whoo!

- Come on, let's do it,

And now introducing

your East High Wildcats!

Let's go! Go!

...for this championship game

between East High and West High!

Casting the leads of a show is both

a challenge and a responsibility,

A joy and a burden,

l commend you and all other

young artists to hold out

for the moon, the sun and the stars,

Shall we soar together?

Sharpay and Ryan!

b"Bop to the Top"/b

l believe in dreamin',

shootin' for the stars

Baby to be number one

you've got to raise the bar

Kickin' and a scratchin',

grindin' out my best

Anything it takes to climb

the ladder of success

Work our tails off every day

Gotta bump the competition

blow them all away

Yeah we're gonna

Bop, bop, bop

bop to the top

Slip and slide and ride

that rhythm

Jump and hop

hop till we drop

And start again

Zip zap zop

pop like a mop

Scoot around the corner

Move it to the groove

till the music stops

Do the bop bop,

bop to the top

Don't ever stop

bop to the top

Gimme, gimme, shimmy, shimmy

Wildcats!

...the coveted

championship trophy!

East High wins the opening too,

pushing the ball up the court.

East High,

We did it!

Great job!

Shake some booty and turn around

Flash a smile in their direction

Show some muscle

Do the Hustle

All right, Wildcats, time for

an orderly exit from the gym,

And West High pushes the ball around

the perimeter on the offensive end.

Nice ball movement by West High.

Driving the lane...

shot is up and...

We seem to be experiencing

some technical difficulties,

We've got a timeout on the court here.

We have a problem,

Stop the game, Stop the game,

Referee has signaled timeout.

Everyone please remain calm.

Go, go, go, go,

We'll get this figured out real soon,

ln the meantime, per safety regulations,

we need to all make an orderly exit

from the gym, please,

Thank you,

Yeah, we're gonna

bop, bop, bop

Bop to the top

Wipe away your inhibitions

Stump, stump, stump

do the romp

And strut your stuff

Bop, bop, bop

straight to the top

Going for the glory

We'll keep stepping up

and we just won't stop, stop

Till we reach the top

Bop to the top

Oh, hi! Call me,

Do you see why we love the theater,

people? Well done!

Ah, Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez,

Troy? Gabriella?

- They'll be here,

- The theater, as l have often pointed out,

waits for no one, l'm sorry,

Well, we are done here,

Congratulations to all,

The cast list will be posted,

Wait! Miss Darbus, wait!

- We're ready, we can sing,

- l called your names, twice,

- Miss Darbus, please! Please!

- Rules are rules!

We'll be happy to do it again

for our fellow students,

l don't know what's going on here,

but in any event,

it's far too late

and we have not got a pianist,

- Well, that's show biz,

- We'll sing without a piano,

Oh, no, you won't,

Pianist here, Miss Darbus,

- You really don't wanna do that,

- Oh, yes, l really do,

Ready on stage,

Now that's show biz,

l can't do it, Troy,

not with all these people staring at me,

Hey, hey, look at me, right at me,

Right at me, Like the first time

we sang together, Remember?

Like kindergarten,

b"Breaking Free"/b

We're soarin', flyin'

There's not a star in heaven

that we can't reach

lf we're trying so we're breaking free

You know the world can see us

ln a way that's different than who we are

Creating space between us

till we're separate hearts

But your faith it gives me strength

strength to believe

- We're breakin' free

- We're soarin'

Flyin'

There's not a star

in heaven that we can't reach
