    Default Listen to Me Ring!

    Hi all! If you go to: http://www.nj.com/morristown/ and scroll down to the article titled "My Ears are Ringing" you can see a video of my handbell choir ringing one piece on Saturday night at our concert. It's about 4 and 1/2 minutes long, but it's kinda neat if you aren't used to handbell choirs. I'm in the last row, with the long blonde hair that keeps getting in my face.

    Hey, you have a really good handbell choir! I've played that piece also, it's a lot of fun (I play c6/7, d6/7). Do you happen to go to any conventions? Seems like we played this piece in St. Louis or Cedar Rapids.

    Next to the brunette doing a cardio work out while she plays?

    That's awesome. I wish our bell choir was half this good. Even a fourth...

    Beautifully played!

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    You guys are awesome!

    Our choir is so small and stretched so thin that we would never be able to attempt such a complex piece of music. We finally got our director to stop giving us 3-4 octave music when we have only 8 ringers (one of which has severe rheumatoid arthritis) and others who only read their notes! LOL I find it funny how reading music doesn't seem to be a requirement in our choir.

    Anyway, Very Well Done!
