These guys are all at the TCA today, and more wise, old critics showed up at The Disney Channel presentation than ever.
Boy, they're talented. Not the critics (oh, they're OK, too) but the young song and dancesters from High School Musical. You don't have to be 11 to appreciate them, either. The show truly is a delight for the whole family.
But if you are over 15, you might not have known that they're doing High School Musical 2. It premieres Aug. 17, when there will also be new episodes of a series that features this cutie pie:
Her name is either Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus, and she's only the youngest person ever to have had two No. 1 albums. She's 14 now, and she has way more money than you.
Most parents should know where their children are that night.
The High School Musical "kids" are a little older than Miley/Hannah, almost all in their 20s. But you don't see them passed out in the L.A. nightclubs with the usual run of young stars.
I asked them if Disney had put good behavior in the contract. Nope.
"This experience is so awesome," said Monique Coleman. 
"Why would you ruin that? You look in a child's face ... No one is telling us how to behave."
Grownups may recognize Monique from her turn on Dancing With the Stars. She didn't win, but she sure can dance, like all the rest of the Musical menagerie. And it seems they're pretty good at the dance of life, too.
