High School Musical Party Ideas - The Party Audition Of The Year!

High School Musical Party Ideas are a popular with the older girls – the tween set! With the 3rd film now been released, it's become more popular than ever.

It's not just the older girls, though, my three year old even dreams of being Sharpay along with my eldest daughter!

Full of cheerleaders, dancing and performing I'd suggest that this party should be held in a large backyard or hall as you’re going to need a lot of space.

So Get’cha Head in the Game and start creating these awesome High School Musical Ideas!

Start off with a High School Musical party pack and a HSM party planning book. Then buy some party supplies from the USA or UK and let's get started!

INVITATIONS

For party invitation ideas use a rectangle of card and cut small quarter circles in each corner to resemble a theater ticket.

On one side write in large letters ‘ADMIT ONE’ in the center with a ticket stub number down either side. On the other side you will need to write the party details.

“Dear Miss (guests name),

This ticket admits you to the High School Musical audition party of (birthday girls name) at (address of party) on (date of party). Make sure that you come prepared for your audition in appropriate High School Musical dress and with a song to sing or a cheer leading dance routine.

Please come at (time of party) prompt to be able to audition and RSVP to make sure that your name will be on the audition list.

Good Luck and I look forward to seeing you”

Or you can buy some High School Musical Friends 4 Ever invitations.

DECORATIONS

Party Decoration ideas for High School Musical party ideas are plentiful and easy to find in many shops. Set the party area up as a theatre ready for the auditions to take place.

This would include having a stage and a seating area. A large table placed in front of the stage would serve as a food table. All of the Pink Heaven Party Angels would sit on the one side facing the stage (if you have a lot of desks, trying having rows of tables). They could then pretend to be either the audience or judges.
Use red and white table wear and add a Wild cats megaphone to each party place.
Decorate the stage with shimmering curtains and large cut out musical notes and cheer leading support symbols or banners, such as a HSM personalized banner.
As it’s a party you could also decorate the room prom style with crepe paper, streamers and balloons.
Have a large net above the stage filled with balloons to be released during the singing of Happy Birthday or the announcement of the High School Musical winners!
Use High School Musical stand ups. Large cut outs of the HSM characters to make the scene really come to life, such as a Troy stand up or Gabriella stand up. Or a scene setter such as a giant High School Musical wall decoration.

FANCY DRESS

High School Musical party ideas for fancy dress are easy. Just come as your favorite High School Musical character, expect many Sharpays and Gabriella s then!

The girls could also dress up in a cheerleading costume, either buying costumes or just wearing a red skirt and T-shirt.

Either buy the costumes or copying a look of a favorite character is easy and your child may already have appropriate clothes such as a fabulous Sharpay dress.

Don’t forget accessories, though, such as costume jewelery, microphones and pom poms.
