Well... We tried.

Yeah, Summer ended. It's happening next summer. Maybe we'll get some sort of teaser trailer out.

Screenplay, Cast, and Crew!!

See, I've been working! (Sort of) The screenplay is finished it came out to 22 pages without music, so that makes the movie a little over 20 minutes, which isn't bad.

And, we cast the movie!

Boy (Troy Bolton): Jimmy Pucci
Girl (Gabriella Montez): Molly Gadjosik
Bichon (Sharpay): Elisa Albert
Bryan (Ryan): Evan Gambardella
Taylor (Haven't come up with a name, and I have an actress, I just forget who!)
Chad (Also, haven't thought of a name. Tony maybe?): Quincey Pecora

I, Max Goldberg, am the writer and director.
Rachel Yen is the producer,
And I'm not 100% sure about the rest.

Meeting/Auditions

Friday. 4:00pm. Lounge. High Lane. Be there.

DOOM!!!

Well, I can't find a karaoke track of "Stick to the Status Quo" which means that if I can't concoct my own version, Stick to the snow cone is doomed. If anyone finds one, please contact me!

Fliers

Well, here's the flier that'll be going up at High Lane.

My mom spilled something on it. Whoops.

Get'cha butt in the pool!

Here it is!

GET'CHA BUTT IN THE POOL

EXT: High Lane Pool

Swim team practice is going on. They start to sing.

Coach said to get in
And get set
Watch out for the guy
And don’t forget to get wet
Gotta dive in the pool
Cause we’re pretty cool
But don't be afraid
To get your hair wet, fool

Just keep ya butt in the pool
Just keep ya butt in the pool

And don't be afraid
To get your hair wet, fool
Just keep ya butt in the pool

U gotta
Get'cha get'cha butt in the pool
We gotta
Get our, get our, get our, get our butts in the pool (repeat 3x)

Let's make sure
That we get in the pool
'Cause when we get in
Then the crowd will go wild
We might get wet
Gotta go in head first
Maybe this time
Our bladders won’t burst

Wait a minute
We’re really cool
Wait a minute
Get my butt in the pool
Wait a minute
Get my butt in the pool
Wait a minute
Wait a minute

I gotta
Get my, get my butt in da pool
You gotta
Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha butt in the pool
(repeat 3x)

Why am I feeling so gay?
My butt’s in the pool
But my hearts in the play…

Why am I singing right now?

(SPOKEN)
Should I got for it!?
Better shake this. YIKES!

I gotta
Get my, get my butt in the pool
You gotta
Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha butt in the pool
(repeat 4x)

Snow Cone's coming together some more

Of course, the only song that wasn't on the High School Musical Karaoke CD was "Status Quo."



The reason why I need a karaoke track is so we can write our own lyrics, and sing them to the "original" music. I found an MIDI file online of this song. An MIDI is a song that is made with computer instruments. The song will sound different from computer to computer because the computers sound card is different. (I think) These files can be opened by music making programs like Fruityloops and edited. That's what I did!



Here's a small preview: First is the original song, then is the track I made, then is the two playing together.

Well here it goes.

You found the blog! Awesome! If you've been living under a rock for the past month, or I haven't told you, this is what you've missed.

Everyone hates High School Musical. Even if you like it, you hate it. (Yes, that made sense)
There are many reasons to hate this movie. Here are just some of them:

• The fact that it's nothing like high school- I don't even know who's on our basketball team...
• The music- It's bad.
• The lyrics- They're bad.
• The actors- No.
• The actresses- No.
• The lip syncing- It's beyond obvious.
• The plot- very unrealistic.

So, for this movie, we're taking advantage of all these things. How hard could it be to make a realistic musical about High School? So that's what we're doing.



NOT!


This movie takes advantage of those things in a way better/different way! The actors in HSM lip sync? So do ours! They're plot sucks? Our plot sucks even more!

But it's summer. And I don't really want to look at the High School right now.

So we're filming at a pool club. And no, we're not making the pool club look like a High School, I've seen that done. And we're not doing it. No.

All the main characters, and basic plot elements from the original "story" will still be there, just a little different and way funnier. Here are some plot elements/characters that will be in this movie.

High School Musical High Lane Musical
Troy Boy
Gabiella Girl
Chad Afroman, played by Adam
Head... math team girl Head bowling team girl
Math team Bowling team
Basketball team Swim team

You get the idea. Now for you're enjoyment, the lyrics of "Stick to the Snow Cone"

Stick to the snow cone

INT: High Lane Club Snack bar

The snack bar is full with people. No one can move. Someone is ordering something. Music starts to play, and he starts to sing. (The music is “Stick to the Status Quo”)

Guy1:
Look at this
And what do you see?
A tasty multicolored treat
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
There’s something else I want to eat

Snack bar guy:
What do you want?

Guy1(spoken):
Well if boy wants a choco-taco, then I’ll have a chocolate chip cookie sandwich!

Jock(spoken):
A What?

Guy1(spoken):
A chocolate chip cookie sandwich! It’s like two big cookies with-

People in line:
Not another sound

Guy1(spoken):
What if I called it a chipwitch?

People:
No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the snow cone
If you wanna be cool
Then don’t poop in the pool
And just get a snow cone
Stick to the snow cone!

Guy2:
Look at me
And what do you see
A guy who is in the zone
But it’s really weird
And I’m not sure why
But I’m sorta getting sick of the cone

People in line:
What else could there be!?

Guy2(spoken):
I want a chocolate éclair! I haven’t had one is so long that-

someone in line(spoken):
Are you kidding me!?

People in line:
Not another peep

Guy 2(spoken):
Guys, it’s just ice cream, it’s not that big a deal

People:
No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the snow cone
If you wanna be cool
Then don’t poop in the pool
And just get a snow cone
Stick to the snow cone!

Guy 3:
Listen well
I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Dude, there's no explanation
For this awesome sensation
I agree with those other guys

People in line:
Enough about the snow cone

Skaterdude(spoken):
Alright, if these guys aren’t getting snow cones, me neither.

Dude 1(spoken):
I really don’t think anyone’s really gonna care-

People in line
People:
No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the snow cone
If you wanna be cool
Then don’t poop in the pool
And just get a snow cone
Stick to the snow cone!

Stick to the status quoooooooo

Everyone except the solos:
No, no, no
stick to the snow cone
It’s a colorful treat
That we force you to eat
Don't mess with it,no no no
Stick to the snow cone!

Bichon:
This is frikkin insane
It’s like they think they’re elite
Like anyone cares
What they want to eat!
Someting is really

Bryan:
Something's not right (Bichon punches him in the face)

Bichon:
Really wrong

Bichon & Bryan:
And we gotta stop singing
this stupid song
We can do it

Guy one (eating):
Gotta eat

People:
Stick with the snow cone

Bichon & Bryan:
We can do it

Guy2:
(eating) This is good!

Bichon:

Okay, you know what, EVERYBODY QUIET!!!

And that's it so far. I have a notebook full of ideas, so the script shouldn't take long. If I know you and you want to be in it, and you can sorta sing, somehow contact me.
