Sending another big 'thank-you' to the wonderful students who took part in last night's Spring Concert and to all the parents who came to support us. You're encouragement throughout the year is greatly appreciated. @RastrickHigh

Our Music Festival concert is underway. Following 2 full days of performances, it's now time to find our Young Musician of the year 2023. There are some very proud parents and teachers here tonight! @RastrickHigh

@MissJonesCat @rastrickmusic @Brodstock_ @RastrickHigh Yes, it's Toby on bass! Proud mum moment

[Rastrick Music @rastrickmusic]

'Deep Sea Lemons', you were amazing @Brodstock_ today. All your rehearsal time after school, in holidays, and at weekends really paid off! Everyone at RHS is so proud of you. @RastrickHigh

As we go through my Dad's stuff, we're finding some excellent items. This has a matching Inland Revenue mug.

It's time to play another round of 'spot the back of T's head'

We're really looking forward to tonight's Singing Sensations concert. It's 'band call' time, to make sure our singers have great live backing. @RastrickHigh
