The Northwest Campanologist 
I am very excited about the FIRST Snake River Handbell Conference coming up February 6-7 with Jason Krug as clinician. If you are in the greater Boise area and are not attending, you are going to miss a great time. Please try to come for the concert on Saturday, February 7, 7:00 pm at Central Elementary Gym in Nampa. The gym is on the NW corner of 15th Avenue South and 6th Street South.
There are many other exciting opportunities this spring to get together with fellow handbell musicians. Check out Siskiyou Summit Handbell Conference in Ashland, Oregon; Greater Puget Sound Handbell Conference in Auburn, Washington; Bell Trees in Worship and Concert Workshop in Portland, Oregon; Youth Handbell Festival in Bellevue, Washington; and Big Sky Handbell Conference in Helena, Montana. Information and registration forms can be found in the articles below about each conference.
Please forward this to your choir members and to anyone else who would be interested in all the concerts and events. Encourage them to subscribe to the newsletter.

From the Chair's computer ...
 Happy Groundhog Day! I just participated in an advanced ringing event in California, Redding Bronze, on January 31st and will be participating in Distinctly Bronze February 26-March 1st in Portland, OR. Since the New Year I have been learning my positions for each of these events. I love working up my parts in these challenging pieces-they stretch me and allow me to hone my skills making me a better handbell musician, with the culmination of the hard work being the experience of ringing with 100 other advanced ringers making beautiful music on handbells under a skilled director. All this makes me a better director and teacher to the handbell musicians in the choirs I direct or people I ring with as I am better able to share "tricks" I have worked out to help me with the tricky passages.
The Distinctly Bronze ringing experience is great but not everyone is a Bronze Level Ringer-the majority of the membership of Handbell Musicians of America being Coppers Ringers. So for those ringers not quite bronze level yet Area 10 is sponsoring a coppers ringing Event this coming October 23-25-modeled on Distinctly Bronze-"Coppers' Classic." This event will allow individual ringers the chance to learn music not usually encountered in a church bell choir, experience the working out of a "part" on their own, culminating with coming together with the other ringers to make beautiful music under a fine conductor-Ellie Hodder. The repertoire will be coppers level music chosen so the participants may find some of the pieces stretch their skills allowing them to evolve as a ringer. Watch for details on the website and in upcoming Campanologists.

Auburn, Washington
Clinician: Michael Glasgow
Registration is now open! The 2015 Greater Puget Sound Handbell Conference will be held May 15-16, 2015 at Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington. We are excited to welcome Michael Glasgow as our primary clinician - he brings energy and musicality to the podium and is a treat for ringers to work with! The event will start Friday evening with rehearsal for the Rainier Choir, a Bronze-level conference choir requiring a separate application. Saturday will be filled with division and massed rehearsals, classes, and vendor shopping opportunities, and will end with our final concert showcasing all our hard work.
The Greater Puget Sound Handbell Conference is open to full choirs, partial choirs and individuals. If you don't have a full choir - or don't have a choir at all - you can still participate. We can place individual ringers in choirs with openings. We also invite your ensemble or choir to perform in the Final Concert on Saturday. This is a great opportunity to showcase your group and perform in front of the best audience you could ever hope for - your fellow handbell ringers!

Bell Trees in Worship and Concert
Creativity with Bell Trees - Whitechapels included!
A Bell Tree workshop on Saturday, March 7 in Portland, Oregon will center on creative ways we can use bell trees in worship and in concert. The clinician, Barbara Brocker, has extensive experience teaching and performing at national and international events with the bell tree "keyboard." However, the experience she brings to this workshop is based more on the years she has used bell trees in various settings.
Barbara will teach the basics of bell tree ringing - including set-up, malleting techniques and music selection - and will discuss some of the many ways she has incorporated bells trees in her performances. There will also be an opportunity for participants to share their ideas of what has worked well for them.
A special feature of this workshop is the addition of Whitechapel bells to the bell tree world. Anne Stevenson and Peery Products have designed a bell tree clip that allows the stiff-handled Whitechapel bells to be strung into a bell tree.
The 10:00am - 3:00pm workshop will be held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1624 NE Hancock Street, in Portland and the cost is $25. Additional details can be found on the registration form below. You can also email Anne Stevenson, bell director at Westminster, if you have questions: [email protected].
