Unlike the first two “High School Musicals” which premiered on the Disney Channel to huge ratings, the third movie will be released on movie screens this October. While filming hasn’t even begun yet (it starts in two days in Utah), Disney has already begun the marketing, as I just received the first poster for the movie.

And if you’re a fan of the series I’ve got even more news. Along with the poster, they sent out the first synopsis for the film. Here it is:

“High School Musical 3: Senior Year” finds high school seniors Troy and Gabriella facing the prospect of separation as they head off to different colleges.  Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.  With incredible new music and exciting dance numbers designed to take maximum advantage of the big screen, this motion picture extravaganza delivers plenty of high-energy entertainment from East High’s talented ensemble.
