Scenes were originally filmed in Gabriella's bedroom but never made it to the final film cut
At the end of the film, Troy and Gabriella jump into the pool. During filming all the six main characters jumped in. However, only Troy's and Gabriella's jumps made the final film cut.
The coaster of people doing the wave, at the opening scene in "What time is it" was started by the HSM cast/dancers and Kenny Ortega. Since all the cast/dancers were sore from dance rehearsals, they sat in a line on the floor and began to massage each-other. When Kenny saw this, he told them lean to the right (one by one in a wave), and so they did. Then he decided for them to try it standing up, and when they did so, he used it in the movie in during the opening song.
