High School Musical 2!

Max had an INSANE June.  On top of his Catholic film, he was in Newsies, and THEN was begged to join the cast of High School Musical 2 at AYT as "Troy Bolton"--which has been a dream role of his for years:). He has a signature bow that he does for every curtain call which he calls his "Troy Bolton."

So for about 2 straight weeks, Max was at the theatre from 9 am to 9 pm.  Never once complaining because the theatre is his happy place for sure.  Carlie was also working in the theatre box office this summer which meant she was able to get him to all his rehearsals and get him food so it kinda worked out perfectly.

For closing night, we did our best to embarrass him--which is nearly impossible to do--and we did a pretty darn good job of it--giant Max heads and glitter posters.  With the help of our good friends, the Brassows, we were the ultimate "Max Meeker Fan Crew."
