Notes from the Chair ...
Happy New Year to all of you! First I must say thank you to all of those who wrote notes of appreciation for last month's poem. I'm so glad that it proved to be enjoyable and touched a chord with so many. I hope all of you hit the point of rest and relaxation after your busy holiday seasons!
So the New Year is upon us. What does that mean for you? Are you really just still in recovery mode from the holidays? (Think that might be me.) Are you excited about some new venture your choir has planned this year? Are you looking forward to festivals you have planned to attend? The New Year is all about trying new things or having new enthusiasm. Here are some places to check for inspiration.
Check out the events page at the Guild's website if you are looking for a festival to attend.
Check out the online store at the Guild's website if you are looking for some new music.
Check out Overtones or E-notes if you are looking for some new ideas.
Don't forget to make sure your membership at Handbell Musicians of America is up to date. There are so many great resources for new ideas on the member's page.
So go ahead, be brave. Try some new things. Maybe take these words of Alfred Lord Tennyson to heart:
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Best wishes for new adventures in ringing in 2018!
Diane Hould

Murray Hills Christian Church

Shayla Bailey is our Tins clinician. Shayla grew up ringing first handchimes, then handbells and gaining the attention of the director of Youth Choirs at the 2016 International Handbell Symposium in Vancouver, B.C. She will be an inspiration to our musicians who so often look to the podium for role models.
Click here for a flyer with all the details: where, when, repertoire, etc. Please do take a look and jot me a note if you have any questions.
If you have youth choirs:
- Please come! Youth handbell festivals are a great way to build community and inspire your musicians.
- If you have small youth choirs and welcome one or two from other churches and school, please let me know right away so we can let folks know there's a place in the choir!
- If you have one or two (or three . . . ) young ringers but need a spot for them, please let me know so I can match you. I have one and will be looking for a spot where he night be welcomed.
Don't have a youth choir?
- Please pass the information along to churches, schools and home school organizations in your neighborhood.
- Come to the concert (5 pm) and bring parents and young people who might catch the excitement if they see what is possible.
