Andrew Warde High School Alumni Lauded by Governor Rell for "Contributions & Devotion to the Lives of Others"

Andrew Warde High School alumni Rob Fried (Class of 1977) and Jerry Vigorito (Class of 1976), founders of Band Together, along with group members and supporters were honored at the state capitol by Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell on Wednesday, February 27th, with an official statement.

The statement reads: "This recognition celebrates your many contributions to the State of Connecticut, and your devotion to the lives of others. It is an honor to commend your efforts in taking what you love, playing music for others, and using it to benefit families as well as bringing the community together to help those in need."

Band Together also received an official citation from the Connecticut General Assembly for its "tremendous charitable efforts, and our commitment to public service," as introduced by State Senator John McKinney of Fairfield.

Band Together is a community of local musicians as well as volunteers and sponsors committed to "Helping Connecticut Families One at a Time" through a series of fun, musical events.

An all new concert is scheduled at FTC Stage One in Fairfield Thursday, May 29th. More details on the concert will be available soon.

Congratulations to Band Together for its contributions and devotion to the lives of others. Be sure to take in a Band Together concert in the near future, and support this outstanding group of people.
