The scene that Michael Pitt was about to shoot originally belonged to Gabriela's good friend "Taylor McKessie" in the original. As the story reached its final stage, Troy Bolton and Gabriela needed to attend the second round of auditions for the musical, but at the same time, Troy had to play in a basketball championship, and Gabriela had to participate in an academic competition. In order to let them attend the auditions, Taylor McKessie hacked into the basketball arena's scoreboard with a computer, causing the game to be interrupted and allowing Troy to make his escape.
