Filming took place in the studio and near the college of the city of Tacoma.
School stadium
In movie
Scene where Patrick Verona sings a serenade for Catherine in the stadium, he does it into a microphone connected to all the speakers, so security comes running after him and tries to catch him, but he escapes all pursuit quite cleverly.
Timing: 00:00:00
Real
Scene was shot like all exterior school shoots take place at STADIUM HIGH SCHOOL Tacoma College in Tacoma, Washington. This scene was filmed in the school's outdoor stadium, where sports classes are usually held. The location was chosen because the stadium type of benches for spectators was convenient to shoot the chase of the guards after the singer.

Kat Stratford's family home

Real
Scene was shot Kat Stratford's family home, rented near the college on a street in Tacoma. It's a typical middle-class house in the area, which again emphasizes Kat's stable family as opposed to Verona's dysfunctional one.
