Open Ring with Bells of the Lakes!

Ever wonder what it is like to ring with Bells of the Lakes? Come try us out during a regular rehearsal night! We are planing an evening of fun sight reading, food, and handbell camaraderie where ringers of diverse ages and backgrounds meet for a common goal: to create great music and share their enthusiasm for handbells.

Every year in the late summer, Bells of The Lakes conducts a seminar to encourage and educate handbell ensemble directors and ringers. There are three tracks of classes for the event: Director’s Enrichment, Ringing to the Next Level, and Beginning Handbells.  Come and join us for this fun event to kick off your season of ringing this Fall.
