Okay! Here we go! Here are the first four:

East Meets West Song List


 * 1) Something About the Sunshine - This is the opening big number where Rachel first arrives at Eastwood High. Everyone is singing and Rachel is just so overwhelmed by the school spirit. It's also the beginning of the basketball season so over at Westwood High, Ricky, his teammates, and everyone else at Westwood are excited and everything. The song switches between Eastwood and Westwood. Basically, Jess, Skylar, Ally, Ricky, Jason and the other kids hold up this song. They’re basically singing about how they love their school. “Sunshine” in the song means their school.
 * 2) Beat of My Drum - In this scene, it's time for cheerleading tryouts and the scene starts with Skylar singing this song, dancing, and doing a bunch of cheerleader moves to intimidate the auditioning girls. And then halfway in (by the chorus) everyone is dancing with the head cheerleaders. Skylar and the other head cheerleaders are dancing and flipping and whatnot, teaching them a dance and going really fast. Everyone else is trying to keep up. Rachel is the only one who can keep up which is why she makes the squad and makes Skylar jealous. I really think this number would totally introduce Skylar and her attitude! This is one of my favorites!
 * 3) Push It to the Limit – This is East Meets West’s version of Getcha Head In the Game. :P So yeah, they’re at basketball practice and Ricky and the team sing this song. I’m not too big on this scene and I was thinking that Ricky singing a solo after practice would be better. Then Ms. Bailey catches him singing and wants him to star in the show but he says no. So I might change this song, especially because I’m trying not to make this movie a copy of HSM.
 * 4) Go With Gravity – Lisha gave me this idea when I first pitched the movie! This is sung after Ms. Bailey catches Rachel and Ricky. She remembers Rachel from one of her old choir concerts so she asks her to sing. Rachel tries to get out of it but Ms. Bailey insists. They go to the auditorium and Rachel then gets up on stage and sings this song to Ms. Bailey and Ricky. Then Ms. Bailey finds out she is that girl and blackmails them into doing the show. Ricky is speechless about her voice.

Out of these four, I really like Beat of My Drum and Go With Gravity. Something About the Sunshine is good but I'm not 100% sure it's right for the opening and Push It to the Limit might change to a solo by Ricky.
