Area 10 Ad Hoc Choir - Sign Up Now





Click here to sign up for the Area 10 choir.








Good News! Area 10's own Ellie Hodder has volunteered to organize and lead an Ad Hoc choir of Area 10 ringers to prepare for the massed ringing events at the International Handbell Symposium in Nashville, TN this summer.

Great News! The even better news is that a local (to Nashville) church has graciously agreed to loan us their bells and tables, etc. so we won't have to haul gear to Tennessee. Yeah!!!! Many thanks to our former Alaska State Chair, Sheri Roach, for making those arrangements.

The choir is at capacity, but some folks aren't fully committed to attending yet, so we will create a waiting list. To sign up for the choir, please fill out this form. It will be sent to Ellie.

For more information, send an email to Ellie (membership.area10@handbellmusicians.org).

I look forward to ringing with you.
