in Washington called Distinctly Bronze. It is for advanced ringers only and only 147 people get accepted. You have to have two recommendations to get in. Well, I did it! I'm going! This is the first time this event has been offered on the west coast. It's always been somewhere back east so I've never even tried to get in. But now I get to go! Yea!!!!!!

It's not until the second week in February, but I will need that long to learn the music! Especially since I will be practicing by myself. When you play handbells, you are only responsible for two notes, so practicing by myself isn't easy because you can't hear the melody line since all the other notes are missing. I don't even know yet what music I will be playing! I just know that it will be level 5 and above. Music is rated from 1 to 6+, the highest I have ever played is 5, so it will be a challenge. One of my recommendations came from a well known composer and arranger, so if they have confidence in me, I guess I have the ability to accomplish it.
Yes, I realised it's difficult to practice on your own and wondered how you would do that. Can you get a tape of the pieces together with the score?

Oh congratulations! I would love to hear you play! Music played with the handbells is wonderful! Heard some played in Boston one year. Have a great experience. We'll be waiting to hear about it afterwards. Hugs.

Congrats! Glad you shared the honor with us! Hand bells are so pretty, I love to hear them. We have a SMALL group at our church that play a few times a year. Would love to hear your group! But Calif. is a bit far from Tenn.!
