ANNOUNCING SUMMER SEMINAR 2019
Saturday, August 24
Saturday, August 24
The Board is happy to announce that Summer Seminar will be held at St. Paul's UMC in Little Rock on Saturday, August 24. This event was scheduled at a time that we hope will give you a good kickoff to your ringing year. There will be classes for would-be ringers, in case you're bringing someone brand new to ringing, classes for directors, and some for experienced ringers. Festival 2020 music will be introduced and used in teaching some of the classes. We also hope to look at some music other than festival music to give you some ideas. Below is a draft schedule, subject to change, but we hope not many!
One change we already made was to reschedule the class for beginning ringers to the start of the day, and the class for beginning techniques to the first class block. Once your ringers have attended both of those classes, they will be better prepared to handle the sight reading sessions and other classes.
As many of you said last year that you'd prefer lunch to be included, we will plan on that, but you may also bring your own or go out, as there are several fast food restaurants nearby. Cost for registration with a pizza and salad lunch will be $25; registration without lunch will be $20. The online registration form is available now.
One nice thing about Summer Seminar is that you don't need to bring your bells--the board will supply them. Just bring your ringers (and gloves and music stands or notebooks) and enjoy a fun day!
