BRANDON - With raindrops not dampening her enthusiasm, 5-year-old Kaitlin Mixon of Valrico bounded through the puddled parking lot of a theater complex determined to catch the opening of "High School Musical 3: Senior Year."

Kaitlin proclaimed she is an HSM fan from way back. "We've seen all of them," said her mother, Beth.

The film "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" opened Friday morning, and theaters were braced for an onslaught of preteens intent on seeing a sugary smooth version of what they think high school ought to be like.

The movie features wholesome lovebirds Troy and Gabriella fretting about whether they will remain an item after graduation.

Throw in a bad girl who provides the comic relief, and you have the ingredients for what has turned out to be a box office phenomenon complete with franchise players such as Zac Efron and Venessa Hudgens.
