Handbell Programs 2015-2016
THE HANCOCK JUNIOR HANDBELL CHOIR is a beginning group for third to sixth graders, meeting on Wednesday afternoons during the school year. Learning handbell and musical skills becomes fun and games as students work as a team to create music. Music education without sitting still or struggling to get your child to practice! Marilyn Becker, director. Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 pm beginning 9/23/2015.
MARTING TO GLORY RINGERS is an intergenerational handbell choir for 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 9-9:50 am two or three Sundays a month. A commitment to be on time and attend a majority of rehearsals is necessary. Come to our OPEN REHEARSAL on Sunday, 9/13/2015 to try it on for size!
THE MORNING GLORY RINGERS–This fun-loving group of adult ringers of all abilities plays intermediate level music on Friday mornings 9:30-10:45. No experience necessary!
