Post Festival News

The AGEHR Area I Festival/Conference 2005 was a big success. My wife was the chair of the Festival as well as the chair of Area I. We went up a day early to setup along with a handful of other people. One young man along with several of the teens from our church were a big help in setting up and taking down. They moved a lot of tables and a lot of handbells. I am not sure which is heavier, the tables or the cases of handbells. Either way, the team did a great job.

Handbell Groups

by @ 7:26 am. Filed under Handbells

Let’s kick of the Handbell Category.

I belong to two handbell groups; Sounds of the Spirit, a tin level choir, and The Quarter Notes, a quartet. My wife directs most of the handbell choirs at our church with the Sounds of the Spirit being one of the exceptions. Our Assistant Handbell Director directs the choir that I am in. Her husband used to play in our most advanced choir, the United Ringers, which made the arrangement ideal; neither of them had the direct their husbands :-)

About half of the Sounds of the Spirits, combined with our teen handbell choir, UpTempo, will be attending the AGEHR Area I Festival/Conference next week. My quartet will also be attending and taking one of the class tracks on quartet performance. The United Ringers will be going as a bronze choir. Our two children handbell choirs, Next Generation Ringers I and Next Generation Ringers II will not be going to the festival this year.

Quotes:

"The objection to fairy stories is that they tell children there are dragons. But children have always known there are dragons. Fairy stories tell children that dragons can be killed."
    — G.K. Chesterton

"Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it"
"No, actually it isn't", said Tiffany. "Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short."

    — Terry Pratchett
         from "The Wee Free Men"
