Synopsis
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL's Vanessa Hudgens hangs out with new friends in this summer's musical treat BANDSLAM.
Will (Gaelan Connell) is used to being either targeted by bullies or completely ignored, so when a popular cheerleader Charlotte (Aly Michalka) starts talking to him and invites him to hang out, he's stunned.
Charlotte, a gifted singer-songwriter is impressed by Will's knowledge of music and asks Will to manage her fledgling rock band. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sa5m (Vanessa Hudgens) who plays a mean guitar and has a talented voice.
Their ultimate goal is a head to head against Charlotte's ex-boyfriend and rival band member.
