Eileen Shaughnessy started the discussion BRENT WOWS THE CROWD AT THE BREN CENTER!

What a thrill to see Brent walk at Graduation!

The rules are really that we aren't supposed to cheer when a student's name is read (mostly because then the family of the next kid can't hear their own child's name being read), and everyone usually abides by it mostly in that people will just make a really short quick cheer when their child's name is called so it doesn't interfere with the next reading.

WELL.....it didn't really work that way with Brent! They announced "Brent Sirignano" and a roar of cheering, hooting, and hollering rose up from the whole crowd. For that one moment, everyone apparently agreed that we could suspend the rules to recognize this child's awesome accomplishments in the last few months, and we all just chose to cheer wildly, many standing.

Once Brent finished, everybody went back to the regular routine . It was quite something to watch this moment.......just celebrating Brent......and it was beautiful.

The Shaughnessy clan were very grateful to have been able to see it.
