The Northwest Campanologist
Our Area 10 Conference, Ringing, Reunions and Remembrances, is July 7-9 at Oregon State University, Corvallis. Concerts during the conference are open to everyone and are listed below. If you are in the Corvallis area, I hope you will try to attend at least one.
Reading Diane's "Notes from the chair" article reminded me of how beautiful and versatile handbells are at special occasions. I was asked to play at a graveside service and played "Amazing Grace" and another piece on a bell tree. Very moving.
Please forward this newsletter 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. Click "Join our mailing list" at the bottom of the left column or click the newsletter link on our website, area10.handbellmusicians.org. With permission, I can also add names and addresses.

Notes from the Chair ...
I went to Lake McDonald in Glacier Park today. If you have never been, you really should try to get there. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The picture that appears with my article every month was taken there. Let me tell you about that day.
The photo was taken at our niece's wedding rehearsal on the shores of the lake two summers ago. When I was asked if I would take care of the music, of course I said yes. But what to do? It was literally on the shores of the lake, so no piano, no sound system. I had only played a bell tree a few times, but it seemed like a good choice. I asked a friend of mine to join me on violin and we played the processional and recessional.
It was magical. I am not speaking here of the quality of my playing. I am speaking of the sound of those bells, echoing off those mountains, glistening in that gorgeous summer sunlight. There could not have been a more perfect instrument for that day.
Anything electronic would have been jarring and out of place. Something about the majesty of a bell peal against that backdrop was perfect.
Our instrument has the ability to be the perfect thing, at the perfect time, in the perfect place. I know - I've seen it happen - more than once. Be willing to take that beautiful bronze out of the case and let it work its magic. Let it speak to people. Be willing to put a few bells in some socks, carefully carry them to a remote mountain lake shore, string them up on a pole, and make a precious memory.
What will yours be?

To Attend or Not Attend a Festival: Why Ask the Question?
When I was in high school, I had the chance to attend my first handbell festival. Being someone who already enjoyed music a great deal, I was thrilled to attend. I wasn't disappointed when I got there. I remember walking into a large gymnasium. People were busily setting up their equipment in preparation for our first rehearsal. The scene was spectacular! The beautiful, shiny bells, laying on table after table, some in sizes I'd never seen. The sound that came out of the bells being played by over 250 people! I was blown away!
Now, over 25 years later, I am still filled with excitement to attend a festival. Most of the festivals I've attended are in my home state on Montana. It's such a thrill to see who's attending from the previous year and also who might be a newcomer. Last summer I had the privilege of attending the International Handbell Symposium in Vancouver, B.C. I'm excited to be attending my first Area festival since 2000.
Attending a festival, whether in your community, state, or area, is so invaluable. Whether it's learning something new, or visiting with old friends and making new ones, there's something for everyone at a handbell festival. I for one am looking forward to meeting new friends at the Area 10 Conference in Corvallis, Oregon on July 7-9. Hope to see you there!
