Best Youth Musical in America (BYM America) competition

And she has signed YOU up for the competition, too!

It’s a long way from Albuquerque, New Mexico to the

BYM America national stage on Broadway. To make it

there, you and the East High Drama Club will need to

practice hard, perform at your best, and never give up!

So take a moment to review your moves, turn off your cell

phone and get’cha head in the game!

In the BYM America competition, performers must master

more than one musical instrument. When one of the

instrument icons on the

bottom of the screen ﬂashes,

tap it to begin playing that

instrument. Keep up with the

rest of the band!

TheSlide: You can create

a radical musical note by

ﬁlling up the instrument slider

on the bass. Touch your Stylus to the beginning point of

the Slider and draw in the direction

of the arrows as quickly as possible

while staying inside the boundaries

of the Slider. Rock and Roll dude!

BYM America judges are tough. They will watch you

closely, keeping track of your elegant steps and your

not so elegant stumbles, your sparkling notes and your

ﬂat ones, too. You will earn bonuses and score multipliers

if you can put together

combinations of perfect

moves.

After each performance the

judges will show you the

score sheet with hits and

misses as well as an overall

ranking. Any ranking of “D”or

above is enough to move on to

the next performance. But to

really excel, go for all “A’s”!

Sharpay has signed up all six of East High’s top theatrical

performers for the BYM America competition. (Yes, even the

Wildcats’ top basketball players!)

Troy Bolton is the captain of

the Wildcats basketball team,

which is coached by his father.

Troy’s voice is magniﬁcent but

basketball is his real love.

Shy, brainy Gabriella Montez is a

new student at East High. When she

meets Troy Bolton at a new year’s

eve party and is pushed to sing

with him, she discovers a talent

she never knew she had.

Sharpay Evans knows what she

wants and she’ll do whatever it takes

to get it. She uses people around her

and her position as head of the East

High Drama Club to propel her way to

stardom.

Sharpay Evans’ twin brother Ryan

doesn’t seem to mind that his

sister pushes him around.

Chad Danforth is Troy Bolton’s

best friend and a member of the

Wildcats basketball team. He’s

not too enthusiastic about Troy

getting into the “singing thing”

because he wants to win the

upcoming game – and the team

needs Troy if they have any

hope of winning the season.

As leader of the Wildcats Scholars

Club, Taylor McKessie isn’t happy

to see the team’s star scholar

(Gabriella) spending so much time

singing with Troy. After she and Chad

almost sabotaged Gabriella and Troy’s

big audition, she has a change of heart

and supports her friends as they meet

new challenges.

You can use the wireless connection tools on your

Nintendo DS to connect to another Nintendo DS

player and challenge other performers to a dance-off

or trade music videos. Both players will need copies of

Disney High School Musical: Makin’ the Cut.

After selecting Multiplayer from the Main Menu, select

Nearby Player to connect to another Nintendo DS.

When you are connected with a nearby player, you can

enter a Dance Competition or share a Video.

DanceOff

Multiplayer dance competitions are

just like normal dance competitions

except in multiplayer, you can try

to distract your opponent with a

Zap Attack. Each player begins the

competition with one Zap Attack

icon, which looks like a lightning bolt.

After one player sends a Zap Attack by

tapping the icon, the defender can try to

evade it by tapping the Shield icon that

appears on their screen.

You can earn additional

Zap Attacks during

pattern traces. The player

who draws the most patterns

before time runs out earns

another Zap Attack.
