Many members of the cast of School of Rock have come together to celebrate a marriage between two of their own.

Caitlin Hale and Angelo Massagli played school kids Marta and Frankie in the 2003 movie starring Jack Black as a guy who gets kicked out of his own rock band and tricks his way into a substitute teacher job before discovering he could start a new band with his students.

The couple got engaged in 2023 and just recently had an 'all out' wedding with a bunch of their co-stars in attendance.

While Black wasn't able to make it to the wedding he did record a message for the happy couple, and the bride called the cast reunion a 'time capsule moment'.

Sadly, there was a member of the team missing after School of Rock star Kevin Clark, who played drummer Freddy in the movie, died in a car accident in 2021.

On 26 May, 2021 he'd been cycling in Avondale, Chicago, when he was fatally hit by a car and died at the age of 32.

Though he couldn't be there in person his castmates made sure he was there in spirit, and fellow School of Rock star Aleisha Allen, who played Alicia in the film, posted some of the footage from the wedding along with a tribute to Clark.

She wrote: "When you begin your new year with your brothers & sisters from other mommas & misters (missing a few) like time has never passed (with all heartbeats synced to the rhythm of Kev’s drums), to celebrate an amazing love that blossomed from our 20+ year old bond!"

According to another School of Rock star, Rivkah Reyes (bass guitar player Katie in the film), the movie owes much about its excellent ending to a suggestion from Clark.

To jog your memory, the band puts on one hell of a show at a 'battle of the bands' event but don't win, then the crowd which is full of their parents starts chanting for them and they go out and play a triumphant encore.

According to Reyes, Clark deserves a lot of credit for coming up with this as they explained: "At one of our earlier table reads, the ending wasn’t landing.

"We tried one version of it where we win, we tried another version of it where we lose and that’s it, and it just wasn’t hitting.

“And the team was like ‘What do we do about this ending?’ and Kevin is just like, ‘It would be cool if we lost and then the audience started cheering School of Rock! School of Rock! And then they bring us out for an encore.

"So this guy at 13 years old wrote the ending of School of Rock.”
