Xtreme Ring! 2019
This year's event for 3rd through 8th graders will be held September 7, 2019, at the First United Methodist Church in North Little Rock.The timing of this event is to help you start your ringing year with a fun activity that will get your ringers excited about ringing. No music must be learned in advance, and this year, the registration fee is only $10 per ringer! How can you resist!?
Our clinician is Linda Ball, whom you will remember from last year when she assisted with the younger ringers. She's an excellent director and works beautifully with the children. Here's her bio:
Linda Ball taught elementary music in the public schools of Sioux Falls, South Dakota for 25 years before moving to Arkansas with her husband. She also worked in church music in various Lutheran churches in Sioux Falls, directing children's choirs and handbell choirs of all ages, as well as playing in church and community bell choirs. In Arkansas, she is the director of children's and youth choirs at First United Methodist Church of Conway. In her free time, she enjoys reading, trying new recipes, and discovering a new trail to hike with her husband and their dog.
You may bring newly recruited beginning ringers and fear not! Linda will be teaching beginning ringers through experienced.
If you've brought ringers to Xtreme Ring! (or Handbell Olympics, its predecessor) before, you may remember we made T-shirts for those events. This year, we've decided to forego the shirts, hoping that the lower registration will encourage more children to attend. This will be a fun day of ringing, games, and musical activities that all your ringers will enjoy. Online registration is open. Click on "Events" then Xtreme Ring! to find it.
