The Pasadena High A Cappella Choir hosted a reunion of choir alumni to honor long-time choir director Dave Scarcella last Saturday (Nov. 13).  The highlight of the event was a concert that combined alumni and current A Cappella Choir members, under the direction of Scarcella.  Known affectionately by his students as "Poppacella", Scarcella had a 20-year tenure as choir director from 1964-1984.
