On January 20, 2006, it was the start of something new. High School Musical set a Disney Channel record when 7.7 million fans tuned in for the premiere. And after becoming the first TV movie soundtrack to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, it became the top-selling album of the year. Directed and choreographed by Disney Legend Kenny Ortega, the film made stars out of Zac Efron (as Troy Bolton), Vanessa Hudgens (as Gabriella Montez), Ashley Tisdale (as Sharpay Evans), Corbin Bleu (as Chad Danforth), Monique Coleman (as Taylor McKessie), and Lucas Grabeel (as Ryan Evans). In honor of the film’s anniversary, we’re calling on Wildcats of all ages to take our quiz. Will you bop to the top?
