Warde 30-Year Reunion Chair Announces Christmas Sing-Along Event in Bridgeport

Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 30-year reunion president Tony Procaccini (seen in both photos) is involved with the upcoming Christmas Carol Community Sing in Bridgeport, which promises to be an enjoyable event for the entire family.

B.A.C.I.O., Inc., a local Italian cultural organization headed by Bridgeport ex-Mayor Leonard Paoletta, announces a first-time Christmas Carol Community Sing on Sunday, December 9, at 3 PM.

The event will take place on the grounds of Saint Margaret’s Shrine, 2539 Park Avenue, Bridgeport. If weather alters the plans, the venue becomes the Circolo Sportivo building, directly across the street from the shrine. Light refreshments will follow there in any case. The music program is expected to last about an hour.

A volunteer combined choir, accompanied by a brass quartet, will be conducted by Fairfield native Tony Procaccini, Music Director of Saint Patrick Church, Bridgeport.

Selections will include seasonal carols such as “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and well-known secular songs such as “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town.”

Most importantly, singers of all four voice ranges with at least basic music-reading ability are still needed as of this writing. An optional general rehearsal is set for Tuesday, Dec. 4, in Bridgeport. If interested, please contact Procaccini immediately at 718.873.7421 or by e-mail to aprocaccini@juno.com.
