LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, Troy found himself standing in the backyard of the country club, people walking in front of a huge stage, decorating for the talent show.

"Table settings, nice." Mrs. Evans comments as she inspects the decor, Taylor and Martha following her. "Oh. No, no. No. No. No. Now, that?" She remarks, removing an extra flower vase off the table. "Fabulous."

"Troy!" Sharpay squeals, Troy looking over at her. "Daddy will make certain the entire scholarship committee is right here. Perfect view."

Troy follows her finger to a table placed right in front of the stage. Mrs. Evans walks up to the two as she sends Taylor and Martha on their ways.

"I've already spoken to your mother.They're going to be sitting at a table right next to ours. It's going to be a fabulous evening."

"Come on."

"Great."

"Rehearsal, everyone!" Sharpay yells to her friends and the band as she marches up the stairs of the stage.

"Look, Sharpay. I know I promised I'd do this," Troy follows Sharpay reluctantly, "but just take it easy on me. I'm kind of new to the whole performing thing."

Sharpay just nods in understanding, but ignores his comment.

"Five, six, seven, eight!" She shouts as the band starts playing.

"You are the music in
You are the music in
Are the music in
You know the words
'Once upon a time'."

"Makes you listen, there's a reason
And when you dream
there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice."

"Above the noise
Like a common thread
Sing it to me." Sharpay and Troy sing, with the latter looking scared.

"When I hear my favourite song
I know we belong
'Cause you are the music in me." Troy sings as steam blows from holes in the floor, him looking around shocked.

"It's living in all of us
It's here
Because you are the music in me
You are the music in
You are the music in
Are the music in."

Sharpay dances during the instrumental part of the song. Troy looks around confused, not knowing what to do. He walks over to Kelsey who was playing the piano, trying to ask her what's going on, her shrugging in reply. Sharpay walks over to Troy and pulls him on a vent in the floor, a breeze blowing through, causing their hair to flow around them,

"Harmony to the melody
Echoing inside my head
When I hear my favourite song
I know we belong."

'"Cause you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
It's here
Because you are the music in
Me, me, me, me, me
You are the music in
You are the music in me
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah." The music ends with pink sparklers raining behind the band. Sharpay smiles excitedly as she turns around.
