For Ashley Tisdale High School Musical 2 and 3
High School Musical 2
High School Musical 2 takes place a year after the events at East High. We start the movie similar to grease with a musical number. Suddenly everyone is singing again. But now everyone is singing differently. Where High School Musical 1 was about having the courage to be who you are. High School Musical 2 is about finding your voice in a world where complacency is king. Suddenly everyone is singing different. East High students have changed. Some are singing rock, others country some are into hip hop. Ms.Darbus announces that one of her former students Brian Mellows recently contacted her with good news. Brian informed her that NATION SENSATION will be holding auditions.
NATION SENSATION of course being the number 1 show across the country entices Sharpay, Ryan, Gabriella, Troy and even Chad and Taylor to audition. In the audition process they get to choose songs they identify with and perform for Stan Stepplin the shows main judge and creator. The kids make the cut due to a lot of bad talent and get to represent there school East High. They sign contracts to appear on SENSATION but suddenly realize the devil is in the details. Stan is very clear and concise about what songs are chosen to be performed and has his own idea of what a SENSATIONAL singer is. Stan does not allow for original material or original songs. If people want to hear your own songs they can....when they buy your debut CD. Until then they stick to the program. The kids did sign a contract so they make due with the best they have. At first it's ok but later the songs don't mesh with their personalities. They don't represent them accurately so they cant relate to the music. This causes many of them like Chad and Taylor to be booted off the show. They say the fault lied with the songs being really bad. Stan says there are no bad songs only bad singers. Brian starts to side with the students. But since Stan's the Man Brian has no control over the songs or the direction of the show. Troy,Gabriella,Sharpay and Ryan have become overnight successes. Some start to let the success go to their heads.
(Sharpay...Ryan and even Troy) Rumors start to go wild about Troy and Terrina Tosh having a relationship. This hurts Gabriella because she has developed feelings for Troy and the both of them have been to nervous to ask each either to go on an actual date. Finally with her 17th Birthday around the corner Troy has the perfect present he's going to give Gabriella a ring to be his girlfriend and he's going to do it by singing he and Gabriella's song "Start of Something New." But Terrina tells Troy about an emergency song change and Troy loses track of time and misses Gabriella's birthday. Gabriella's friendship with Kelsi turns sour because she knows the songs she wrote for Gabriella are good but the ones Gabriella performs on SENSATION are bad but no one has the courage to stand up to Stan. Kelsi also has a secret crush on Chris Canyon and fears he likes Gabriella instead of her. Gabriella angry at Troy for missing her birthday goes off script on SENSATION and sings one of her own songs she wrote with Kelsi. The reaction from the audience goes well but not with Stepplin. During commercial he goes backstage and demands Gabriella be expelled for her stunt. But the shows executives say it's not up to them who stays or goes. It's up to the people. Stan then takes matters in his own hands and changes the voting results from the envelope from Chris's name to Gabriella. Brian Mellows discovers this and threatens to expose Stan. Stan says if he does expose him he wont renew his contract for next years Sensation. Brian tells Stan why would he renew his contract if his current one has just been terminated...he quits Sensation. Brian Mellows and Darbus decide to host their own show at East High. Where students will be able to sing their own songs. Chris later finds out from Gabriella it was he who was supposed to be booted off and decides to do the honorable thing and drop out of SENSATION and perform at East High instead. Afraid reporters will soon learn the full story from Chris or Gabriella Stan Stepplin decides to have America vote for the winner of SENSATION on the following episode. The final show airs the same night with Troy taking on Terrina and Sharpay. Sharpay has wanted to win SENSATION so much she has shut everyone out. Ryan,Zeke, and even Darbus. After seeing how Terrible Terrina is to someone she realizes how terrible she has been as well. If it weren't for Darbus she wouldn't be where she is. Sharpay decides to go off script and perform a duet with her brother Ryan who was voted off. Chris Canyon blames himself for the turnout saying if he hadn't left SENSATION the show wouldn't be having it's finale a week earlier. Kelsi says he did the right thing no matter what even though his reasons where mainly because he likes Gabriella. Chris says Kelsi is wrong about one thing, he likes Gabriella...but he likes Kelsi much more. Chris and Kelsi kiss! Troy finds out from Terrina she made it so he had an emergency song change. Seeing she's not as terrific as he thought. Troy realizes where he needs to be. LIVE on Television he spills the truth about Stan Stepplin and his show SENSATION getting the audience to applaud...he asks everyone on Television to visit East High if they can and see the true Nation Sensation Gabriella Montez. The effect is staggering as thousands pile into the auditorium. Some even donate cash through letters. There is more than enough to keep the music program alive for the next 30 years. The network executives even attend and find out Brian worked on the show and award him Stan's position. When Stan tries to attack Troy, Troy's father knocks Stepplin out. All that remains is for Troy to tell Gabriella the truth and say what a jerk he's been. He asks for her forgiveness in front of the world. They sing their duet and finally kiss! Troy and Gabriella are now officially together!
So that's my HM2 here's my HM3
High School Musical 3
Yes it is that time. Senior year for Troy,Sharpay,Ryan,Chad,Taylor,and Gabriella. After spending the summer on the SENSATION mall tour the kids are back and getting ready to take the SAT's and start preparing for College. Yeah right! It's SENIOR YEAR BABY! SENIORS RULE! Sharpay is predicting Troy and Gabriella will be Prom King and Queen since everyone knows they are boyfriend and girlfriend. There's just one problem. Where is Gabriella? Troy starts the first day of school but doesn't see Gabriella. Has anyone seen her? The mystery is revealed Gabriella is now a Cheerleader! Surprise! But she isn't the only one. So is Ryan! Chad is planning the best senior prank ever. Taylor is already making sure her future room mate keeps up with the curriculum. Sharpay is planning the Senior Prom. Troy is still remembering the amazing summer he and Gabriella had together but his father wants him to get his head back in the game. He is really pushing for Troy to get a full scholarship and play for East University and he does! Everything seems to be going great until early admittance rears it's head and Gabriella gets accepted to EUCLID which is an Engineering and Mathematics firm. This is great except for the fact EUCLID is all the way in Snowy Colorado! Troy's world is shattered. How can he and Gabriella remain together! Suddenly Troy dedicates his year to trying to keep he and Gabriella together. High School Musical 3 is about moving to the next stage in your life. Chad is angry with Troy for spending his senior year talking about Gabriella. It's seems that all he talks about is his girlfriend and not enough time is spent with his best friend. Scouts come to the game but all they see is Troy. All they care about is Troy. Chad was relying on basketball since his grades were so low. His SAT scores were average. Chad needs some sort of scholarship to go to college but it went to Troy and Troy doesn't even care about Basketball he's a singer. But Troy is still undecided as to what to do. As is Gabriella. EUCLID is an amazing opportunity but it would mean never seeing Troy again. Troy realizes the only connection that can keep he and Gabriella together would be singing. Kelsi and Sharpay become good friends. Zeke will be going to culinary school. Ryan decides he's going into choreography like his idol Wade. Taylor does not score a perfect score on her SAT. In fact East High's only student to ever score a perfect score on the SAT is Gabriella Montez. Taylor with a score of 1534 to Gabriella perfect 1600. Chad asks for a tutor to help him and Taylor says she is to busy studying for the SAT herself. Chad thinks it's real selfish of her that she is retaking the test just to get a perfect score to compete with Gabriella when she has the 2nd highest score in the history of the school. Gabriella offers to tutor Chad. Chad ends up pulling the prank but is found out. He acted alone. But no one believes he pulled off such an elaborate prank on his own. The Principal claims Chad isn't smart enough to pull off something so big. Since there is no proof Chad acted alone and none that he didn't. The Principal selects the Usual Suspects Sharpay,Troy,Gabriella,Ryan,Chad, and Taylor to miss their Prom and go to School instead and clean up. If they don't show up and fulfill their punishment they will not be allowed to attend Graduation........
So how does it end? I'll never tell :)
Anyway yeah hope that helped get your head in the game for sequels. HM2 and HM3 it may seem so much to take in now especially now that everyone is releasing solo albums but I was compelled to write this months ago. I did the same for Cars and Pixar. At least this way I can actually get the message to someone involved with the film. I think it's cool you get on Youtube and while I wont say High School Musical is the greatest Disney Musical I've seen.(Love me some Pete's Dragon) It along with Cheetah Girls has been entertaining for my niece and cousin to watch and enjoy. (Ok I secretly like it to.) Either way I hope I didn't bore you too much and offered a glimpse at a HM2 and HM3.

Anyway yeah hope that helped get your head in the game for sequels. HM2 and HM3 it may seem so much to take in now especially now that everyone is releasing solo albums but I was compelled to write this months ago. I did the same for Cars and Pixar. At least this way I can actually get the message to someone involved with the film. I think it's cool you get on Youtube and while I wont say High School Musical is the greatest Disney Musical I've seen.(Love me some Pete's Dragon) It along with Cheetah Girls has been entertaining for my niece and cousin to watch and enjoy. (Ok I secretly like it to.) Either way I hope I didn't bore you too much and offered a glimpse at a HM2 and HM3.
