Greetings!
It's only November, but the handbell season has definitely begun! There are sooooo many opportunities for ringers during the holidays, it's an embarrassment of riches. But don't forget to GO to a concert as well as ring in one. We need to support other handbell groups for our art form to continue. This season enjoy ringing, and then relax and listen to the bells!

A Message from the Chair
Happy November!
Fall is my favorite time of the year. The combination of sun and frost makes my heart happy. It's also the month when we all dig deep and think about what we have to be thankful for. For those of us in handbells, I'll venture a safe guess that our ringing companions rank high on the list. We share a bond that few people - even few musicians - can understand. The level of cooperation we engage in is very special. For me, anyway, that spirit infuses the rest of my life. I'm so grateful for this community.
Which brings me to our board meeting last month. What a great group! We're getting down to the wire for conference preparations, and that means figuring out who's doing what to make sure this is the best conference we can deliver. It was so exciting to see everyone volunteer for the pile of work that has to be done over the next eight months. I'm really really proud of your Board.
We know that you will all be busy rehearsing and performing over the next six weeks, and then collapsing in the post-holiday heap to recover. Which is why we will be ready to dive in head first with complete information, brochures, and online registration at the beginning of the year. We are so looking forward to seeing you all at 12th Night in Las Vegas, Spring Rings throughout the various areas, and, of course, the Happiest Place on Earth!

Communiqué (From the Communications Director)
Well, here we are again at the start of what everyone else calls the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and what handbell ringers call the "time of year when we spend the least amount of time at home."
With all the hustle and bustle, I hope you'll make time to see someone else play bells. I am always fascinated by the different ways other directors interpret music, or the way other ringers choose to solve special ringing problems, or the way various groups create variety and interest in their programming. I can't tell you how many times I've heard ringers from a choir in East Wherever tell me they have the best ringers in the world. Really? Have you heard all the groups in the world play? Not. I encourage you all to get out there and be dazzled, be motivated, be inspired by something outside of yourself.
As for this newsletter, we're officially opening up nominations for the next Area 12 Board. Do you know any Area 12 members who would make good leaders? Encourage them to run for an Area 12 Board position (or just send us their name on the sly, and we'll start the arm twisting process - heh, heh).
And there are still several opportunities to win a Treasure Hunt prize worth $50 for next year's Disneyland conference. But you've gotta be fast with your answer (we're still looking for someone to beat Barbara Meinke's record correct guess within 15 minutes). So check it out below!
As Rima reported, plans for the Disneyland conference are moving along, and since new updates may come in between newsletters, make sure you bookmark the Area 12 conference page and check back often for new details and online registration information. Happy November, everyone - enjoy the calm before the ringing storm! |

LA Metro - Pearl Marshall, Regional Coordinator
Greetings LA Metro Ringers!
On October 15, our year got off to a fabulous start at the Fall Ringers Workshop,and our clinician, Barbara Meinke, did a wonderful job leading us through the music. Linda Krantz taught a special 4-in-hand track, and during "division" time, eight ringers formed two quartets and learned interlocked 4-in-hand. We were able to play two pieces by the end of the day, and Linda was so proud of the group. We gratefully appreciate the time and talent offered by our other class teachers, Rudy Rodriguez, Ruben Mendoza, Mary Rose O'Leary, and Katherine Hinton. Each of them shared their love of music and ringing in a very special way. And our day wouldn't have run as smoothly if it weren't for the help of Debbie Shaw, Betty Price, and our kind hosts at First United Methodist Church of Glendale. We were even treated to a few solos by Linda Krantz on bells and Betty Price on chimes. What a pleasure it was to spend a day making music with ringers from Los Angeles, Whittier, Camarillo, Pasadena, Fullerton, and Glendale. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful day!
Our Youth Festival is less than two weeks away. We have canceled the Friday Night Bronze Challenge, but we are moving ahead with Saturday's schedule. With KatRyn Howell and a dynamic group of teachers, it promises to be an exciting day. The flyer and registration form can be found at http://www.areaxii.org/Areas/LAMetro/index. Youth Handbell Directors, if you are interested in this kind of event but aren't able to make it this year, I would love to get some feedback from you as to how we can best accommodate you next time.
We have our Spring Ring 2012 repertoire list! Our clinician, Kath Wissinger, was gracious enough to rush our selections so we can start practicing music early!
Massed:
- Change Ring Prelude on Divinium Mysterium, arr. F. Gramann LC201537L (2-3 octaves) or LC201239L (3-6 octaves)
(This one is also repertoire for Disney!) - Simple Gifts, arr. K. Wissinger, MSF279133
Division A:
- One Great Spirit, K. Wissinger, G-7251 (GIA)
- A Joyous Rondo, M. Helman, LC201098L
Division B:
- Jubilate, A. Sherman, HP1727
- Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel?, D. Edwards, CGB464
We are still looking for a few places for the youth ringers from St. Matthew's UMC in Annandale, Virginia to perform while in town next June for the Disneyland conference. If you are interested in hosting this exceptional group, please contact me and I will put you in touch with their director, Nancy Cappel. You can learn more about them by following this link to a page on the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts website:
http://www.kennedy-center.org/explorer/artists/?entity_id=9946&source_type=B
The Neighborhood Church in Pasadena, the First United Methodist Church in Glendale, and St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Granada Hills are all looking for ringers to fill their ranks. For details and contact information, visit the LA Metro webpage. And as a reminder, if you need ringers for your choir, even on a substitute basis, please contact me so we can post your request.
As always, don't forget to share with me the dates, times, and locations of Your Upcoming Concerts. With Christmas just around the corner, everyone is in the mood for bells! How wonderful it would be to have a good long list of the performances in our area. You never know who you will inspire!

CenCal - Lori Smith, Regional Coordinator
Greetings Central California ringers!
I'm sure everyone is busy polishing ringing techniques for the fall season. With each month's newsletter, I'm hoping to "spotlight" various groups or events within the CenCal area. This month features the collaborative efforts of The Salvation Army and several bell groups in the Modesto area. This Sunday, November 6, at 3 pm, The Bells of Blessing, a fundraiser concert for the Modesto chapter of the Salvation Army, will feature the combined ringing talents of bell groups from:
- Modesto Church of the Brethren Opus Handbell Ensemble
- Modesto Christian Reformed Church
- Trinity United Presbyterian Church
- First United Methodist Church
- Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
- Modesto Covenant Church
- Modesto Central Seventh-day Adventist Church
- Centenary United Methodist Church
There will be over 80 ringers participating, so if you're in the area and have the afternoon free, make sure you stop by Modesto Church of the Brethren at 2301 Woodland Avenue in Modesto, and support this worthy event.
And don't forget to contact me with your upcoming events and concerts for posting in this newsletter, on the main calendar, and on the Central California portion of the Area 12 website.

SF Bay Area - Julie Vaquilar, Regional Coordinator
Hello Bay Area Ringers!
I hope all is going well with rehearsals for your holiday concerts and services. Keep in mind that it is not too early to plan for spring. We are bell ringers after all, and we like to plan in advance. We like rehearsing ringing Christmas music in August....
With that said, registration is now open for the 21st annual Bay Area Spring Ring in Cupertino.
When: Saturday, March, 24, 2012
Guest Clinician: Deborah Carr
Highlights and Features:
- Massed ringing with Deborah Carr
- Classes and workshops presented by at least eight clinicians
- Reading session of the Disneyland Area XII repertoire. Get a head start and sneak peek at the music.
- Solo concert presented by Carol Smith during the lunch break
- A guest brass group, Messiah Brass, who will give a 15-minute concert prior to the massed ringing concert
There will be something for everyone:
- Rehearse and play for the final massed ring concert only

- Participate in the Intense Ring group on Friday evening and Saturday

NorCal - Nancy Schmitt, Regional Coordinator
Dear Handbell Musicians,
What better way to start your fall ringing than to have a festival! This past weekend was the Redding Handbell Festival attended by 86 participants. We started on Friday night with the Ringing' in the Red Zone Bronze choir rehearsal and continued on Saturday with massed ringing, bell classes, and the finale concert. A big thank you to Barb Walsh and Larry Sue who were the directors for the two-day event. New friendships were made and I believe a fun time was had by all who attended. And then on Sunday we were treated to a wonderful concert by Tintabulations Handbell Ensemble. Now here is one bell ensemble really excited about going to Disneyland!
It is time to start getting ready for all of all of our various Christmas concerts in Northern California, and we want to hear about yours! We've already got information on the calendar for Bel Tempo and RiverBells of the Sacramento area. And the Simpson University Music Department, featuring the Simpson University Handbell Choir, has its annual music department Christmas Concert on the calendar as well.
For more information on those performances, and all the concerts in the Northern California area, visit the Northern California portion of the Area 12 website. And don't forget to send me your information so your concert or event can be listed there, too!

NATIONAL NEWS:
Handbells Featured on TV Thanks to Area 12 Members
 If you didn't already see the notice in the National e-notes, Area 12 members Christine Anderson and Linda Krantz made "national" news when they gave handbell lessons to Zooey Deschanel and the cast and crew of Fox TV's show "New Girl."
Here's a repeat of the National e-notes article:
TV Show "NEW GIRL" November 1, 2011 episode features handbellsChristine Anderson and Linda Krantz worked with the cast and crew of the Fox TV Show "New Girl" to teach them how to play handbells. Christine reported that the show had Malmark ship them everything they needed to start a handbell choir. She and Linda worked with Zooey Deschanel who plays the lead, Jess, and a group of child actors to teach them all how to play handbells. The episode focuses on a group of kids who have gotten into trouble and have a choice of suspension or to join the handbell choir. Christine said that she had a great time with the actors and was able to convince the director that the concert should be the kids playing instead of having the music dubbed, because even if they made mistakes that happens and just would make it more realistic. So, be sure to check your local listings to see what it is all about on Nov. 1, 2011. It looks as though that show is airing TONIGHT, so make sure you set your DVR! Congratulations to Christine and Linda - we'll be checking out the casts' technique closely.... |
