    Coaches of olympics-bound handbell teams from around the globe will now begin polishing their acts. Stand by for mallets and a forethought.

    This is great!!! Now we know why we sometimes call it ‘aerobic bells’!… We’ve been in training all along! Hmm… will this take the place of the "Virtual Director’s Seminar" this summer? LOL!

    ._.
    We will destroy the tie-breaker…

    Even I – non ringer that I am – know you should NEVER play more than two tacos above the table!

      Now the real question is tacos on their sides or upright?

    Funny thing – my spell check never likes the word handbells. It always wants to change it. :-)

    SO great!! Kevin McChesney’s "Now the Green Blade Riseth" is certainly performance-worthy in the Olympiad world of excellence! Honored to have had Kevin as conductor of 12th Night Handbell Festival in Bakersfield, CA!
