Bells of the Cascades: Read & Ring
$45
Join Bells of the Cascades in this opportunity for handbell directors and ringers to read through music for all seasons, decide what you like, and purchase music at a discount for your choir to use during the year. Bring your choir or come alone and meet new people!
Sessions will include general music and seasonal music for Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.
- Directors: Select music for the upcoming year
- Ringers: Have fun, boost your sight-reading skills, and try new positions!
Bells of the Cascades will provide the bells, chimes, mallets, tables and foam, along with coffee, tea, water, and snacks. Our own members will be there, ringing with you, and available for questions and advice!
Be sure to bring your own:
- gloves
- easel binders and/or stands
- lunch (refrigerator and microwave available)
- smiles!
Because the COVID-19 risks are minimal at this time, we leave it up to you as to whether you choose to wear a mask or not, or follow any other personal safety practices. We want all our participants to feel safe and comfortable!

Registration: This year we have a new registration form for Read & Ring! Using Google Forms, we are asking each person to register themselves individually, even if you are a member of a group of ringers. We hope this will alleviate some of the confusion that has sometimes arisen when groups have registered.
If you are in a group or church choir, we’ll still ask for your ensemble or church name, whether there's just one of you or several. It’s always good to see what organizations from the area are being represented.

You'll find complete payment instructions and you’ll receive a copy of your submission for your records.
