SUCCESS FOR EVERYONE
Highland Squadland: The Musical.
We have to look for actors,
dancers, singers, musicians.
We need all squads. Everyone has a talent.
SPORT - DANCE - SINGING
DESIGN - ACTING - STYLING
Okay, volunteers to help scout?
I have an idea.
I ran school musicals in Singapore, so
Okay, we need to get everyone involved.
Without Agnes noticing.
-Ready?
-Yes.
Our plan will only work
if we get everyone on board.
-Keep it quiet.
-Yes.
-We fight Agnes, but we do it invisibly.
-But Agnes has cameras everywhere.
Will you join the musical?
And before you know it, you're gone.
Okay, bad idea.
If we can't scout at school,
how can we rehearse?
At school? Don't we have
a professional rehearsal room?
My voice needs
a climate-neutral heat supply.
At someone's home?
A shed?
Yes, great.
Or at a petting zoo among the goats.
It has to be at school.
We can rehearse between classes.
But if Agnes finds out,
we have to leave school.
What is this?
Stop. We can do it at school
if Agnes is occupied with other things.
-What do you mean?
-While you rehearse, I'll distract her.
Success for Everyone,
the handbook that every school needs.
I repeat, every school.
Who wouldn't want a signature
from our favorite principal?
-Can I have a signature?
-Me too.
Brilliant. As long as Agnes is busy,
we can rehearse.
-Exactly.
-And I'll help you.
Then we can alternate
who gets to rehearse.
With mystery and action.
With our own anonymous channel
to post our actions.
-But be careful.
-Yes.
Before you know it,
you've lost your besties.
Don't worry.
I'm number one on Agnes' score list.
THE DISTRACTION
We'll distract Agnes
so you can get on with your work.
Hey.
We'll convince Agnes to let us
go back to the old Highland High.
Can I count on you?
-What do you think?
-Great plan.
But Nick, we get the lead, right?
With all our basketball moves.
Yes, of course.
-Are you taking part?
-Yes, sure.
-Of course.
-Yes.
-Everyone I spoke to will join.
-Same.
It'll be so cool.
I've not done any musicals in Singapore.
Is someone jealous?
What is it? I was just joking.
Yes, I know, but
But?
We're together, right?
Of course. Why are you asking that?
Jason has it all.
But you are my boyfriend.
What?
It's strange that he lives in your house.
Nick, seriously? Jason is super nice
but he's also quite annoying.
But he can do everything. He's perfect.
That's what I mean. Quite annoying.
-See you in a bit.
-Yes.
-Ready for the first meeting?
-What?
Esmée, planner please.
Sure. Just send me a location pin.
We miss Esmée and Jocelyn too.
Chin up, look to the future,
and don't dwell
on the past.
I need sushi.
See you in a bit.
Esmée, where is my
Sushi unlimited and two maki nigiri.
Pack everything separately.
The sauce mustn't mix with the juice
From the white cabbage.
Yes, you didn't do it last time,
that's why I'm mentioning it.
Young people are so predictable.
It's almost disappointing.
I know exactly what they're thinking.
"Old woman, in her medieval 40s."
"No idea how technology
or social media work."
The arrogance of youth.
Let me take advantage of their arrogance.
THE BEST SPYCAM!
As long as Agnes is occupied
with the pranks, we're good.
I never thought
we would get so many likes. Look.
You like him, don't you?
-Is it that obvious?
-Yes.
I just think he's so cute and handsome.
But everyone thinks that
and he already gets so much attention.
-I just don't know how to stand out.
-Just be yourself.
Yes.
-But what if he thinks I'm strange?
-Have you spoken to him yet?
No, not really.
-That's a good place to start.
-I know what you're doing.
-What are you talking about?
-This. Your test grade.
Which of these words
describe you, Magenta?
Sweet. Cuddly.
Upright?
Well, actually, all of them.
Although, cuddly
-They are characteristics of a meerkat.
-And?
Did you know that meerkats
are known for taking out their peers?
Hold on.
Is someone in this story a meerkat?
Yes, you. You took me out.
You stole first place from me on the list
of highest scoring students by
-cheating.
-No way.
Prove it, then.
-How many spheres make up the Atomium?
-Nine, each with a diameter of 18 meters.
-Is a dolphin a fish?
-No, a dolphin is a vertebrate mammal.
Dolphins come from the womb, not an egg.
-How tall is the Statue of Liberty?
-Ninety-three meters, including base.
-Which Spanish artist is known
-Salvador Dalí.
mustache? What?
What is the longest Dutch word?
Kinderkarnavalsoptochts-
voorbereidingswerkzaamhedencomitéleden.
What?
We have to work together.
The two smartest Highland High students.
Join my study club.
Together we'll get 3,000 points
and I'll get my scholarship
to Harvard University. So will you.
No, I'm good. But thanks anyway.
Okay, listen. You'll like this.
I study in a super cool, special room.
The only place in the whole school
that is soundproof and has no WiFi.
For ultimate concentration.
But no WiFi?
No distractions. Just strong focus.
Pure brain power.
Sorry.
Why not?
We're just different.
Welcome everyone
to our first official meeting.
Tara, shouldn't you
and Magenta distract Agnes?
Sorted.
Good. Because today,
we are making history.
Today we go underground and top secret
to fight the rules of our new principal
with our creativity.
We want the old Highland High back.
And we can do that
with Highland Squadland: The Musical.
This is our story.
We'll let everyone see
-And hear.
-what it's like at Highland High.
-With music.
-A Highland High song.
Very important.
We already have a great basketball choreo.
But we're getting the lead, right?
Julia, we're opening the musical
with our TikTok dance, right?
Aren't we starting
with mini robots and a light show?
-Mini robots?
-No, a dance.
A dance?
Okay, maybe it's not completely clear
who should do what.
An opening song has to have power.
It has to give you energy.
-Something you want to sing along to.
-I have no inspiration.
Same.
The meeting was a disaster.
Come on. Let's not be put off so easily.
Listen.
To what?
To the inspiration for our new song.
-I can't hear anything.
-Quiet. Listen up.
We show who we are, Highland High forever
You're more than a nerd or a rapper
Are you sporty and also very clever?
You can outdo yourself
Not all of life's lessons
Are in a textbook
Follow your heart, do your thing
You'll be fine, Misfits
I have music in my blood
Yeah, can you feel me?
I know. We start the musical
with a basketball renegade beatbox choreo
in which mini hip-hop robots
rap the story.
Magenta, brilliant again.
-Really?
-No.
How can I please everyone
without it affecting the others?
Auditions.
-Auditions?
-Yes.
You just invited everyone.
They thought they could demand anything.
-But switch the roles around.
-Yes.
If every student has to earn their place,
you make it exclusive.
Exactly.
I made strawberry meringue, by the way.
Delicious. Some energizers
to bring even more good ideas.
Not a bad idea, auditions.
Okay, I'll admit. It was a good idea.
-Why didn't we think of that?
-Only Jason can be perfect.
I'd normally say the more cameras,
the better. But in this case
Agnes can follow us everywhere now.
Luckily, I know
the perfect place to rehearse.
Soundproof and no WiFi.
So no cameras.
That's great, Magenta.
There is just one problem.
This room is reserved for
Lisa.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
-We're looking for a room to
-Study. I want to join the study club.
-And my friends really want tutoring.
-Really?
But why do you have guitars?
That's a combination of
Tutoring and
-Music rehearsals.
-Right.
Yes, if we all get higher grades,
we'll get 3,000 points in no time.
Okay. I didn't think
you'd change your mind.
Where shall we begin?
I am good at all subjects,
but I have a preference for languages.
What about you?
AUDITIONS
I feel a bit bad for Lisa.
Good grades are so important to her.
-And how do you explain all these people?
-Everyone could use some tutoring, right?
As long as we combine music rehearsals
and tutoring, it's not a problem.
-Name?
-Maartje.
Tutoring for
-Physics and opening act.
-See?
A combination of tutoring
and music rehearsals?
-How can we study with all that noise?
-Noise-canceling headphones?
Okay.
Smart.
-We split the atom.
-We divide the room in two.
We release the electrons and neutrons
and cause a chain reaction of studying.
-And creativity.
-I think I'm seeing double.
-Tutoring there.
-And rehearsals there.
Symbiosis.
-We've got 585 points out of 3,000.
-Yes.
-Two more tests.
-Yes.
-That means all 150 students
-Need to get 8.05.
-With a bit of effort, that should work.
-Yes.
We install a sensor
so that we know if Agnes is coming.
Okay, sensor installed.
Those are Lorena Libera
soft-fusion Diamond Edition boots.
With real gold and charms
from the national museum.
I know. I can barely believe it myself.
Is that the
Lucy Medina original.
What? But there are only five
in the whole world.
Who are you?
-Bibi-Anne.
-I am
Sterre Hagendoorn. I know.
Queen B, head VIP.
Singer with a golden throat,
and winner of the TMAs.
-A real living legend.
-You did your homework.
But did you know the new Miracle powder
came out this morning?
You mean this?
-How?
-I have my connections.
Right now I want nothing more
than those connections.
Sterre Hagendoorn.
-Do you love Dina
-Fresco? Yes.
Only my favorite designer ever.
Oh my God, mine too.
And her new bag comes out in five days.
I can't wait.
-Are you in the mood for sushi?
-Yes, always.
-One two three sushi.
-Hi.
You have ten minutes
to learn the lyrics of "Dare to Dream."
And then you all have a chance
to do your best performance.
Sterre made a list
and you'll audition in that order.
And you can interpret the lyrics freely.
-Make
-Your own version. Because only then
you can fly.
Jason means there isn't one right way.
Exactly. Thanks, Nick.
Hey! If you shine inside
You don't need a spotlight
Dare to dream
Can you feel it too?
The energy
There's no stopping it
Just catch the feeling, start the dreaming
Do you notice it too?
That jealousy
Shake it off
Forget the haters, we are better
Don't ask me about tomorrow
Because I don't have a plan
Don't worry about it, just wait and see
If you shine inside
You don't need a spotlight
Dare to dream
And when the sun goes down
And the clouds appear
Dare to dream
That was incredible.
CAST LIS
The lead role. Yeah.
Wow, me too.
Always lyrics and guitar, of course.
-Surprising.
-And you?
I'm going to dance.
Oh, sorry.
-What are you doing in the musical?
-Set design.
-Cool.
-Yes.
I have to go because
Things. Does that make sense?
I think so.
Okay, bye.
Bye.

Yes. We want those 3,000 points, don't we?
Three thousand points!
I am proud.
Yes. That's what I said.
It's no secret.
I love it when everyone
respects my methods.
It would be a shame
if students had to leave school early.
Fortunately, that's not

Let's arrange that.
