The Marting to Glory Ringers is an intergenerational handbell choir for elementary school students who read music, and middle school, high school, and adult ringers of all abilities, playing intermediate level music in a fast moving setting. No experience necessary! Everyone will be challenged to their own ability, learning new skills and working as a team to create fun music for church services, concerts, and festivals. Rehearsals are 9:00-9:50 a.m. two or three Sundays a month. A commitment to be on time and attend a majority of rehearsals is necessary. First rehearsal on Sunday, 9/9/2018 at 9:00 a.m. Come to any September rehearsal to try it on for size!
Tuesday evening skill building workshops are for bell ringers from all groups to expand their ringing skills from 7-8:30 pm on 9/11, 10/9, and 11/13. These evenings will be an opportunity for ringers to learn a new skill and practice it alone and then incorporate it in the context of music they are learning in their own rehearsals. If you have a skill that has stumped you or simply want to be able to get to the next level of ringing, this is a great time to work on it. Possible topics could include weaving, changing bells, stopped techniques, ringing faster, 4-in-hand, bass bells, reading ahead, improved sight-reading, memorization, music marking, and more.
