Synopsis: In this parody of Disney's High School Musical, join Toy Boatin, Gaberella, Shitzu, Cryin and the rest of your favorites as the Roswell High bowling team goes for a state championship, students pursue their dreams of performing in the Winter Muse Cycle and surgical decathletes compete in real live surgery. Toy Boatin is Roswell High's bowling star, but he's longing for more. When surgical prodigy Gaberella transfers in, she's immediately drafted onto the surgical decathlon team. But she too wants more. Will Toy and Gaberella unseat Shitzu and Cryin as the leads in the upcoming Winter Muse Cycle? Even Dad Mom, Toy's best bowling bud, and Failure, head surgical decathlete, have to respect Toy and Gaberella's attempt to follow their dreams. But when they discover that Gaberella's singing voice is so bad that it could mass casualties, what will win out--following your dreams, or preserving life as we know it?
