Only 84 days left to rehearse before
Christmas Eve! I was in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee after Labor Day and
stayed at The Inn at Christmas Place. In the elevator there was a
countdown till Christmas. Thought I'd toss the number out to all of
you!
Remember links to back issues of our
newsletter are on our website, www.area10agehr.org. Please continue to forward
it to other ringers and directors who would be interested in what
is happening in Area 10. Also stay in touch nationally with AGEHR's

Have
you reached your "Pinnacle"?
As incoming Chair of Area 10, I had the
opportunity to attend the national AGEHR event, "Pinnacle," this
past summer in Nashville, Tennessee and feel compelled to report
back to our membership. My previous national experience was
attending a National Director's Seminar in Dallas, Texas which was
totally awesome, but "Pinnacle" managed to surpass it by greatest
expectations - four full days of classes, rehearsals, concerts and
workshops too numerous to attend. I did attend 14 of the 15
concerts available and got to hear the likes of Agape Ringers,
Raleigh Ringers, Velocity Quartet, Music City Bronze, Westminster
Ringers, Twin City Bronze, Arkansas State University Ringers, East
Texas Handbell Ensemble, Houston Bronze, Circle City Ringers,
Anacrusis Handbell Ensemble, Vivace, Fort�, Sonos, Embellish,
Virginia Bronze, Hands on Bronze, Golden Bells of Atlanta, Vibr�,
etc. The first three groups listed have been a part of Area 10
events in the past. Each brought a high level of performance for us
to hear. These concerts provided members from our Area who attended
with ideas for future events (i.e. 2012 Area Conference).
Two ensembles new
to me were very exciting. Fort� from Colorado Springs was an
exciting quartet that presented us with new possibilities for small
ensemble performance. Vivace from Aibonito, Puerto Rico set new
levels of achievement for me to try to attain with my own choir.
This group ranged in age from 14 to 22 and most had multiple years
of handbell ringing starting at age 6-8. We thought that El
Cumbanchero was a fantastic closing number, but their encore of
Fiddle Faddle by Leroy Anderson was truly spectacular! Every ringer
in AGEHR should have the chance to hear this group. The ringers
attending also greatly enjoyed Arnold Sherman's group, East Texas
Handbell Ensemble, which boasted former Area 10 Chair, Jayne
Brown.
The event also
featured fantastic solo performances from the likes of Heather
Keith, Michael Lamb, Susan Carscaden-Mifsud, Sue Garton and our own
Nancy Hascall. Every day we were surrounded by the fine teaching of
such notables as: Christine Anderson, Kathie Fink, Deborah Carr,
Michael Glasgow, Tim Waugh, Michael Joy, Kevin McChesney, David
Weck, Stephanie Wiltse and certainly not to forget the
conductors/teachers: William Payn, William Griffin, Hart Morris,
Arnold Sherman and Jason Wells. Can I say more?
As always, I left this event ready to meet new challenges,
invigorated to continue my own development both as a teacher and
player and seeking to get more people involved in the exciting
world of handbells! All I can really say is that until you attend
events like this - YOU AIN"T SEEN NOTHIN" YET and YOUR PINNACLE IS
STILL A SMALL SPOT ON THE HORIZON!

Siskiyou
Summit Handbell Conference, Ashland, Oregon

"Plays Well with
Others"
Michael Glasgow
will be our guest conductor for the weekend and Bells of the
Cascades will present a mini concert on Friday evening after our
Massed Rehearsal with some of the members of BOC teaching the
classes on Saturday. The theme "Plays Well with Others" refers to
the fact that the repertoire chosen for this weekend includes
additional instrumentation in the arrangements. Michael is a
dynamic, energizing conductor who connects well with people and
music,. He burst onto the handbell scene several years ago bringing
fresh ideas and energy to everything he has participated
in. Registration materials will be available in early 2011.

Glacier
Ring with Cathy!
Cathy Moklebust was the featured clinician
for 30 ringers in the beautiful capital city of Juneau, Alaska.
Resurrection Lutheran Church and Chapel by the Lake hosted the
handbell workshop held September 17-18. Three ringers came down
from Anchorage to add to the fun.
The workshop included two 3 hour mass ringing
rehearsals in the morning and afternoon and individual coaching
sessions with both Resurrection Lutheran and the Chapel by the Lake
bell choirs, closing with a public demonstration of Cathy's
selections plus the coaching pieces. It was greatly appreciated by
our audience of bell groupies and family members.
The three pieces of her music exhibited
were:
Calming Peace, Choristers
Guild, CGB438
'Twas in the Moon of
Wintertime, Choristers Guild, CGB155
Come, Let Us Eat, Choristers
Guild, GCB152
The ringers said that Cathy was a wonderful
teacher and they have been charged up and are ready for a great
ringing year. Now we have to start thinking about when to hold the
next one!
'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime is
a piece Cathy wrote for her husband, David, (who was here with
her). They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary here in
Juneau.

Bells
of the Cascades - Alaska cruise
Bells of the Cascades with clinician Dr. William Payn
 |
More than 130 handbell ringers from around
the world (yes, there were ringers from Scotland and England)
joined Bells of the Cascades in August for a cruise to Alaska while
enjoying the ringing of handbells. Highlights of the cruise
included the natural beauty of the inland passage while
experiencing incredible music-making. Ports of call were Juneau,
Ketchikan, and Skagway which were enjoyed with glorious sunny
weather amidst the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Glacier Bay
and Tracy Arm provided close-up views of calving glaciers,
waterfalls, and whale and other wildlife watching.
Dr. William Payn was the clinician for the cruise. He worked
with two separate handbell groups preparing them for a closing
concert attended by about 100 non-ringing cruisers. Each group
performed three pieces that they rehearsed throughout the week. In
addition, a "beginner" group was formed for anyone interested in
learning to ring handbells; their final performance was appreciated
by all. For those interested, workshops on special techniques,
memorization, etc., were available. In addition, Bells of the
Cascades organized lunch group "table topics" where ringers could
join in conversation. And early Friday morning Bells of the
Cascades performed their concert in the Vista Lounge.
Under the leadership of Nancy Hascall, ensembles were formed
and coached for their special concert during the week. More than
eight individual ensembles were formed-some meeting for the first
time on the cruise. It was apparent they were having a good time
working in their small groups perfecting ensemble skills and making
music.
Bells of the Cascades will soon plan its twelfth cruise. Be on
the lookout for the announcement and start saving now to join them.
You won't be sorry.
