Handbell Choir ?
We are looking for ideally 12 individuals who would be interested in being part of a handbell choir here at SJV.
The schedule for weekly rehearsals and playing at Mass is yet to be finalized. If you have ever seen and heard a handbell choir you know what we are looking for. |

To ring a handbell, the ringer moves it in such a way that the clapper strikes the inside surface of the bell, usually holding it against his or her shoulder, bell-upwards, and then swinging the bell through an elliptical shape to cause the clapper to strike the casting of the bell.
