The UnMusical!''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gawker.com/131690/to-do-dance-the-sprain-at-the-max|title=To Do: Dance the Sprain at the Max|last=Jessica|work=Gawker |date=18 October 2005|access-date=14 April 2014|archive-date=15 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140415024326/http://gawker.com/131690/to-do-dance-the-sprain-at-the-max|url-status=live}}</ref> The following year a sequel was produced called ''Bayside 2!
