Great Rep Ring & Classes
March 29 | 5:30 am
Join us in the morning for the Great Rep Ring, a chance for ringers and directors to explore new music, including the music that will be used at that year’s Capital Area Handbell Festival. This session is led by director David Harris. In the afternoon, members of The Raleigh Ringers will lead handbell technique classes. Registration for each session is separate, so you may choose what best fit your needs.
