Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for putting sunshine into my somewhat bleak year. It's nice to make new friends that make you feel special. Here's hoping for a brighter new year for all of us.

To quote my brother, NTSammy5, "I LOVE you, man!"

On another note.... my handbell choir ROCKED tonite!! We receive a 4 octave set of handbells as a gift from another church in January this year. The gal who was going to start & direct a handbell choir moved away in August, and I was asked if I would start & direct a handbell choir. While I've directed large choirs, orchestras, and marching/concert bands, I never even HELD a handbell until September 30th. On November 11th we had our first rehearsal. Out of 12 people who volunteered to be "ringers", only 9 could read music - so we started from the very, very basics. In 6 weeks, I whipped them into very worthy bell choir that played a medley of "Away in a Manger/Still, Still, Still. They performed wonderfully! I am very proud of how much we accomplished in such a short time!! After my DH does some editing of video, I will post a YouTube link so you can hear what we've accomplished. That was the most amazing "gift" I could have received!!

Merry Christmas, and blessings to all!

You go girl! Handbell choir is serious stuff! I went to Germany on a mission trip 2 years ago and was asked to join the handbell choir. (They were desperate.) I was already singing with a group, but thought I would try handbells out. With 3 other altos singing beside me, if I sang a wrong note, it wasn't extremely noticable. Handbells are a different story. Maybe I didn't give it long enough, but after 2 practices, I decided handbells were too much pressure! I LOVE to hear a handbell choir, but not with me in the mix.
