High School Musical/Awesome

"Sharpay: But you're a London schoolgirl!
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Sharpay turning the tables on Tiara during the spring muscial performance of "A Night to Remember".
 * Which was preceded by Tiara's CMOA:

Tiara: Yes. London Academy of Dramatic Arts.... It's called "acting." You should try it sometime."

"Kelsie: Pianist here Ms. Darbus.
 * To elaborate on the former: previously, Sharpay had always been the bad girl trying to win the lead role, always backstabbing, manipulating, and buying her way to the top. Whenever Troy and Gabriella beat her out, she'd put a smile on her face and plot for next time. But in this movie, Tiara crushed her. In one sweeping stroke, she replaced Sharpay as the villain, humiliated her, burned her acting, stole her costume, revealed that all along she'd been playing Sharpay for the fool and then, turns the light off on her dresser door. Sharpay completely breaks down. Then, for the first time in the whole series, she decides she's not going to sit there and whine when she doesn't get her way. She takes the challenge face to face, puts on her spare costume, and, in what could be considered the series' only fight scene, SHARPAY UPSTAGES HER!!! This is not only her CMOA, but her turning point from Villain to Hero.
 * High School Musical:

Sharpay: (menacingly) You really don't want to do that.

Kelsie: Oh yes, I really do.

Sharpay: (Shocked exclamation and falls back in line)"

"Ms. D: Now THAT'S show biz."
 * Followed by Ms. Darbus'

"Ryan: You don't think dancing takes game?"
 * The ending scene after the credits where Zeke's cookies are so amazing that Sharpay falls in love with him.
 * This was a deleted scene, but apparently Ms. D and Coach Bolton were supposed to have a musical face-off in the Principal's office. What I wouldn't give to see that.
 * Especially since Alyson Reed (Ms. Darbus) formerly played Cassie in A Chorus Line. On Broadway. The woman has pipes, folks.
 * High School Musical two:
 * Ryan vs. Chad in a musical baseball game.

"Ryan: Her mom, makes the best brow--
 * Also, when Troy finds Ryan with his girl by the pool and Ryan makes a comment about the brownies Gabbriella's mom makes? Troy shuts him down hard.

Troy: I know, I've had them."


 * High School Musical 3: Senior Year:
 * Troy's song scream where he DANCES ON THE WALLS AND CEILING!!! Yes, you heard me!
 * That whole song in itself is a CMOA. It even doubles as Crowning Music of Awesome.
 * "The Boys Are Back" wherein they use metal bars as samuri swords and hang with what looks like guerilla break-dancers.
 * Also, when mini-Troy and mini-Chad dance.
 * Speaking of upstaging: Rocketman is introduced as the annoying fanboy of fail, and, when told he actually has to go onstage as Troy in the musical, goes into shock (his best friend suspects he stopped breathing). After freaking out some more in his dressing room and missing his cue entirely, he rocks onstage, completely steals the scene from Sharpay, actually turns out to be a good singer in his own right, and gets an in-universe standing ovation.
 * Ms Darbus' conversation with Troy post-"Scream", wherein she proves she truly does understand the spirit of theatre and isn't just a poseur after all.
