HSM 3: Senior Year

By Ma. Francesca C. Herrera, III- Temperanza’

“High School Musical” went on big screen last October 24, 2008. This movie will is the last part of the highly successful series. It will be our last time to hear Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron and the whole cast sing their trademark HSM songs that many teens and children love.
The movie starts with the final basketball match between the West High Knights and the East High Wildcats where Troy Bolton is the team captain. Wildcats won the game and were hailed as champions.
Ms. Darbus, the drama club teacher, was preparing a play for the spring musical. She assigned her class to be its main cast. Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan and Taylor together with other friends decided on what to do with the play and even rehearsed for it.
But then Gabriella received her scholarship notice from Stanford University. This is when she felt the need to decide on her future. So, she decides to leave the play and go to Stanford to achieve what she wants.
Troy gets upset and cannot focus on the rehearsal anymore because of Gabriella’s absence. He decides to go to Stanford and visit Gabriella at the day of the spring musical. Troy sent a text message saying he will be late at the musical.
At the middle of the musical while Sharpay is singing, Troy arrives and sings with Gabriella. During the Graduation Ceremony, Troy delivers a speech for the Wildcats and there, they take their final bow.
