A Night To Remember is the fifth song from the feature High School Musical 3: Senior Year. It is one of the biggest musical numbers in the movie. It is performed by the whole cast.
Summary[]
The song starts right after Chad (Corbin Bleu) asks Taylor (Monique Coleman) to go to prom with him and he is dragged into a dressing room to choose his tux, along with the other boys. The scene is a mix of a fantasy sequence with the East High seniors' first rehearsal of the spring musical, in which they are all the protagonists. The song is about the prom night and it's performed on the auditorium of the school.
There's a brief reprise of the song in the number "Senior Year Spring Musical", performed as a duet challenge by Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) and Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown).
