Victor Pacini
|
VICTOR was born in Chicago on January 30, 1972 to Lawrence and Marianne Pacini. On August 16, 1977, his family migrated to the suburb of Mount Prospect. This was the day of Elvis Presley’s death, and the radio and TV were blasting his songs constantly. Perhaps it was the day, perhaps it was the era, perhaps it was that he was the youngest, but from childhood on, Victor brought lots of joy to the people around him. Having an older brother with a collection of 50’s music and especially Elvis records is part of his history. As a boy, Victor ritually put on his own personal tribute to Elvis at family gatherings. This ultimately got Victor noticed by a manager of a local 80’s “Tribute to Elvis” show band. At the age of 8, Victor was picked up by the band to be the opening act for a Sunday family show. He performed throughout the Midwest and Canada for the next couple of years with this twelve-piece band. Victor takes the stage every evening with an energy and a commitment to entertain his audience. Victor’s choice of music spans five decades from rock and roll to pop. His original songs are a hit as well. Victor continues to wow his audience with his interactive style and his ability to entertain. "Whether bringing a smile to a child’s face, or sharing your passion for children to ‘believe in themselves’ with your songs and show, it is always a pleasure to watch you. You are wonderful." "Thank you so much for coming to Longfellow. You were such an inspiration. You are an awesome singer. The song you wrote was very touching, and in other words it was great. It’s so nice of you to spend your life inspiring and helping children and adults, that you should follow your dreams, and to believe in whatever you want to do!! I loved coming and watching your presentation. You were the best presenter to come to Longfellow. Especially since I’m in 5th. grade, you made my last year at Longfellow awesome!! " "Thank you for a wonderful performance and inspirational talk to our Gateway students. As you know, these students face many challenges in life. Our team believes your message of hope brought a unique opportunity for our students to learn and reflect upon their personal challenges." "You made my day ten times better today with your energy. I haven’t had someone make me so happy in a while. You did that for me and I thank you.
" "Mr. Pacini is a very courteous and mannerly young man. His performance is very good and family oriented. We were very pleased. " "I think you’re a great leader and person. You just have such a warm heart. I pray that all of your dreams in your heart come true. You make me want to go and reach my dreams right now. Thank you. Hope to see you next year. " "We thoroughly enjoyed the assembly. It was a great way to start the year. For the first time all year, there were no conflicts on the playground at recess. I would like to think it was as a result of the assembly. Thank you for sharing your songs with us." "You are a phenomenal speaker, delivering a very important message." |
