Bringing <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2016\/tv\/news\/high-school-musical-10-year-anniversary-1201684209\/\" target=\"_blank\">in 7.7 million members during its premiere<\/a> in the United States, the TV movie became extremely popular \u2013 leading to a TV sequel in 2007 and a third film that received a theatrical release in 2008.\u00a0 The soundtrack for the first film also received major success \u2013 it was named the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/54100\/high_school_rules_06_album_sales\" target=\"_blank\">top-selling album of 2006<\/a>. The film series also helped cast members, such as Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, rise to Hollywood status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first film celebrates its 15<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary this year. To celebrate, here are some of the top musical moments from the film series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. \u201cI Don\u2019t Dance\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sBAN0S3rW_I?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=RD6dmujZr6ld4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyMusicVEVO\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A duet performed by the unlikely duo, Chad and Ryan. With such big differences, Chad being a basketball player and Ryan being a theatrical performer, who would have thought at the end of the first movie that we would be seeing this in the sequel? \u201cI Don\u2019t Dance\u201d is another great song that, despite its title, makes you want to dance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. \u201cThe Boys are Back\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fZ-trvAlxds?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyChannelUK\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How could we leave out this jam by Troy and Chad? The song is upbeat and dance worthy. The scene was also one of the most enjoyable. The choreography was spectacular and young Troy and Chad were a great addition as they reflect back on their childhood! The setting of the old junkyard just made it even better!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. \u201cEveryday\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6dmujZr6ld4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=RD6dmujZr6ld4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyMusicVEVO\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The perfect reunion! After watching Troy and Gabriella face obstacles in their relationship all summer, fans were ecstatic to see the two come back together, especially in a musical number. Remember how relieved and happy we felt when Gabriella surprisingly showed up to sing?! The incredible song \u201cEveryday\u201d is another amazing hit from the series.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. \u201cI Want It All\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eswdydFXf78?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: Lise LS\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI Want It All\u201d could probably be considered the most theatrical scene of the film. As we watched Ryan and Sharpay sing about their dreams of becoming Broadway stars and East High changes into the sets of places like an airplane and New York City, this scene felt like we were watching a real Broadway musical.<br><br>Also, how could a song about what Sharpay wants fit her any better?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. \u201cBreaking Free\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0qj67KE5VXI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=RD6dmujZr6ld4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyMusicVEVO\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember how nerve-racking it was as we all watched to see whether Troy and Gabriella would make it in time for their callback audition?&nbsp; \u201cBreaking Free\u201d was the scene we all held our breaths for. As we all watched Troy and Gabriella sing their hearts out to secure the roles in the school musical, we couldn\u2019t help but feel warm and excited inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. \u201cCan I Have This Dance\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fCa8pxUtN1s?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: Robert Paul Baquing\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This musical number performed by Troy and Gabriella on the school rooftops is absolutely enchanting. \u201cCan I Have This Dance&#8221; is possibly THE most romantic duet by our favorite couple. The lyrics, the melody, the choreography\u2026. ALL AMAZING.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong>\u201c<strong>We\u2019re All in this Together\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DykVJl6wr_4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyMusicVEVO\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This memorable finale to the first film is the hit of the series. A message constantly mentioned throughout all three of the films, \u201cWe All in this Together\u201d is one of the most prominent parts of our childhoods. The song still comes to our minds when we hear someone say those words. It had to be included on the list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. \u201cScream\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vCIqS09Z3zc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: Robert Paul Baquing\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Troy\u2019s solo in \u201cHigh School Musical 3\u201d about choosing between Gabriella and basketball may seem a bit dramatic, but let\u2019s admit, we\u2019ve all related to Troy at some point in our lives. \u201cScream\u201d is an absolute masterpiece that allows you to feel the emotions and passion that Troy feels while performing this song. Let\u2019s not forget the amazing guitar solo for the bridge either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. \u201cGotta Go My Own Way\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cG-dCOM33nQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=RD6dmujZr6ld4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyMusicVEVO\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The saddest song of many of our childhoods, \u201cGotta Go My Own Way\u201d is at the same time, an amazing ballad. Witnessing what seems to be the end of Troy and Gabriella\u2019s relationship is heartbreaking, but the melody and Gabriella\u2019s voice are beautiful. Let\u2019s also not forget when Troy shows up at the end to bring even more emotions as he sings, \u201cWhat about us? What about everything we\u2019ve been through?\u201d THE FEELS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>\u201cBet on It\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k-t4vqd534Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=RD6dmujZr6ld4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>(Source: DisneyMusicVEVO\/YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The song that everybody loves has become a popular meme. Watching a dramatic Troy work out his life problems on the golf course is just the best. \u201cBet on It\u201d can probably be considered one of the biggest \u201cHigh School Musical\u201d hits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple songs that deserve to be mentioned are \u201cHigh School Musical,\u201d \u201cRight Here, Right Now,\u201d \u201cGetcha Head in the Game,\u201d and \u201cWhat Time is It?\u201d It was so hard to pick just ten scenes, so we had to mention these here. Let\u2019s not forget \u201cYou are the Music in Me\u201d either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we\u2019re being honest, we\u2019d put the entire soundtracks for all three films up there. \u201cHigh School Musical\u201d has too many good songs.
