The Sir Thomas Rich's Jazz Band recently returned to the stage at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival on 2 May, performing on the free stage in Montpellier Gardens in the afternoon. Delivering a vibrant set of classic and contemporary jazz, the band showcased the same energy and musical excellence that many alumni will remember so well.

Their polished performance reflected weeks of dedication and rehearsal, continuing a proud tradition of music at the school. Congratulations go to Mr Hinton and all the talented musicians and vocalists involved in keeping the spirit of jazz alive for the next generation.
