district highlights - Barnegat Township School District

we like to go, but to go for a festival for just them, themselves, is a big thrill for them. It is
something they really strive to work for. It is a level of achievement that they really want to do
and I again this year we got first place. So again thank you for giving us the opportunity.
Dr. McMahon: I am going to give out these awards for participation to first of all Mrs. Bense for
the Brackman Vocal Ensemble, for Mr. Orrechio for the Barnegat High School Concert Band,
and, last, but certainly not least for the Brackman Jazz Ensemble, Mr. Frank Constantine. There
is a special student that won a special award, I don’t know if the person is here this evening for
Frank to give a couple of words about the child?
Mr. Constantine: I don’t know if C.J. Pacquing is here tonight. OK, if he is it would be great for
him to come up here. Real quick, C.J. Pacquing, eighth grader, was chosen over 1,100 students
at the Festival, he received one of four medals of outstanding solo performance. When I say
1,100 kids, I don’t mean middle school, it is anywhere from elementary through high school and
the adjudicators of that day recognized him in that group of 1,100 kids as receiving an award. I
can’t wait to present C.J. with this in school. Thanks.
Dr. McMahon: Thank you, Mr. Constantine that is quite an honor and also the Barnegat High
School Vocal Ensemble, I know that the Director could not be here this evening, I am going to
give that to Mrs. Bense. I am going to ask Mr. Nichol along with the other people to take these
wonder trophies and place them in the trophy case of the new entrance of the Barnegat Brackman
Middle School. Mr. Constantine do you want to take one, you are not going to drop it are you
Frank? Mr. Orrechio? Alright, we congratulate them for an outstanding job in terms of that.
Thank you everybody.
