I would like to reach out to current ringers and future ringers for all the possibilities of how the Carolon Bell Choir would look once we return to the Sanctuary.
The bell tables have been set-up so that six players could ring with 6 feet physical distancing. Thus, there would now be TWO choirs for bells (if there is interest). My intention is to have 2 one- half hour rehearsals with 15 minutes in between to disinfect the instruments. Because we will be in an enclosed space, I would recommend masks. Since not all bells will be used, it is an excellent opportunity to learn to play different bells! Potentially, each bell choir would ring once a month, maybe twice. The repertoire will still include special music, but also learning music such as hymns for the upcoming services.
