WEST NEWBURY — Superintendent Justin Bartholomew and Fine & Performing Arts Department
Chair David Schumacher proudly announce that students in Pentucket Regional High
School’s music program were recognized at Festival Disney.

Pentucket Regional High School music students traveled to Walt Disney World from
April 12-16 for Festival Disney, a music festival that gives middle and high school
concert choirs, orchestras, concert bands, and soloists across the nation a chance
to compete and make lasting memories. 

Pentucket students competed in the Solo & Ensemble thread, which is open to all 
students participating in Festival Disney with their school ensemble. The category
allows for individuals and small ensembles to showcase their talents and gain valuable
feedback in the process.

**Jazz saxophone soloist Chaney Goldstein, the saxophone quartet, and the jazz combo
all submitted recordings ahead of Pentucket’s trip to Disney. The videos were later
judged and scored.**

**Goldstein, a junior, received a Distinguished Performance Medal for his solo jazz
saxophone performance, and Pentucket’s saxophone quartet – which consists of Goldstein**,
Juliana Kane, Anna Newman, and Julia Spalding – **also received a Distinguished 
Performance Medal for its chamber music performance. **

Distinguished Performance Medals, which are awarded to the highest scoring musician(
s) in each submission category, were announced at the Festival Disney Awards Ceremony
held at Hollywood Studios on the last evening of the festival.

“The chance to compete and be recognized at Festival Disney is extremely impressive,”
said Superintendent Bartholomew. “Our students demonstrated their professionalism,
skill, and great talent while at the conference. We are all very proud of their 
accomplishments thus far and cannot wait to see what they will do in the future.
Congratulations!”
