November 2014 Ringing News

Greetings from Lake Jackson TX in the coastal Texas region of Area 9!

I am privileged to serve a Chair of the Handbell Musicians of America Area 9 Board of Directors. This organization is dear to my heart and I am part of a group of board members dedicated to serve YOUR handbells needs.

The 2014-2016 Area 9 Board met in Dallas the end of October to continue the work of the previous board and to plan for new and exciting opportunities. The board members have one thing in common – a love of the art of handbell ringing. They come from all walks of life and each brings a unique gift to the board. Together we can do amazing things.

It is our hope that in the coming weeks we will be able to announce several new additions to the calendar of events sponsored by Area 9. Be patient but be ready! It always takes a bit of time to pull the details together before they can be publicized! I hope you are curious and excited about the possibilities. Keep your eyes and ears open. Watch the website and the e-newsletter!

Keep a song in your heart!

Ruth Seiwell
Chair, Handbell Musicians of America Area 9


Central Texas Spring Ring 2015!

Who doesn’t love a day of ringing fun music?! This year’s Central Texas Spring Ring will be in Georgetown, TX (just north of Austin) with guest clinician Ruth Seiwell.

The 2015 repertoire will feature a new Disney classic – “Let It Go” from ‘Frozen’ – along with “Crown Him with Many Crowns” and “For the Beauty of the Earth.” There is truly something for everyone!

To see all of the details, learn more about our guest clinician, and get your registration form, visit http://area9.handbellmusicians.org/central-texas-spring-ring/.


Chime Loan Program Success!

Yesterday afternoon during my conference period, the PAC erupted into the pounding of a drumline—not the most out-of-place sound. However, it got louder and louder; and then the choir room doors opened. In walked a camera crew, Superintendent Mackey, my principal, Wagner HS drumline, and Judson football players, and Judson cheerleaders. They were part of the Prize Parade going around the district awarding teachers with the Judson Education Foundation Innovative Teacher Grants for the year. They presented me with a $2,035 oversized check for the purchase of a 3-octave class set of handchimes for music theory and choir. I’m excited!
