Tigers Today

We are excited to share our original song from Hackettstown Middle School’s 150th School Year Anniversary Concert on May 14, 2026: Tigers Today.

The audio in this video is from our live concert performance, paired with the slideshow created by Kim Andrusin and shown during the finale.

Thanks to a grant from the Hackettstown Foundation for Educational Excellence, we were able to commission this piece and work with musician Casey Gorab throughout the creative process, sharing drafts and ideas with our students until we arrived at the final version.

This performance reflects a collaborative effort across our school community, involving students, alumni, staff, and former staff on stage and behind the scenes. We are proud of our students and grateful to everyone who helped make this celebration possible. We hope you enjoy it!
