CASPER, Wyo. — Kelly Walsh High School students are putting on a show today of musical talent for the school’s 2026 “Rodstock” concert. “Rodstock” is an annual event in which students and teachers showcase their musical talent as others get experience running lights, accompanying music and cameras in the background.
The festival began in the classroom of AP English Instructor Rodney Gene Mahaffey, who retired in 2012 after four decades in education. At inception, Mahaffey would sing and play for seniors and began drawing ever-increasing groups of students to his classroom. The event then expanded to the student body, becoming what KW calls “a festival of peace, love, music, and student voice that still rings through our halls today.”
The show is presented in blocks. Oil City News will update this story with each block when it goes live on the KWHS Trojan YouTube channel.
