Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Filming Ends!

After two more days of shooting, only the basketball court, the auditorium, and a duet set during the New Year holiday remained for the musical segments. Both the basketball court and auditorium scenes were highlights with several song and dance routines, including Troy Burton and his teammates' practice, all the audition scenes, and the final grand ensemble. The basketball court shots were still to be filmed at East High, whereas the auditorium portion was to be completed at another high school in Salt Lake City, at "Morris High School's" auditorium.

But the crew had taken a break from work, as Christmas had arrived. The crew had a three-day holiday to allow everyone to go home for Christmas. Of course, staying in Salt Lake City was an option, too; some people, like Michael Pitt and Harry George, had decided to spend Christmas there to save on travel expenses.

And naturally, those with higher incomes chose to go home to spend a joyful Christmas with their families.
