The same crew is back, now seniors. They win the bball season, then find that the top 4 or 6 cast members are being considered for scholarships to Julliard. (The h.s. drama teacher had written/submitted his application.) VH visits Stanford for 2+ weeks during the h.s. term. AT takes over her role in the senior musical. Everyone is prepping for Prom.
The dance numbers are pretty good; the more the merrier, but my usual complaint of too many cuts. The story is tedious of course. Pretty colors.
