My Top Ten Favorite Things- Bells Edition
And things you should look for when you come to the home concert...

  1. During “As The Deer” the youth ring handbells and sing.  I honestly teared up during last night's performance.
  1. There is so much going on during “Joyous Dance”: different styles of ringing, bells, chimes, some youth even ring 4 bells at one time.
  1. The song “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."  Daniel Hughes said this is the most important song for him to do because it is so hard and fast. 
  1. The Bell Duet “Invention #1” by Sharon and Elizabeth is both audibly and visually stunning. 
  1. Watching Matthew’s chorography during the song “I Come With Joy”. 
  1. Donovan plays the cowbell during “Shereka Usafari." 
4.  During “Shereka Usafari,” some of the youth duck out of sight at the beginning of the song to represent the music being far away and then they stand up as the music is supposed to be getting closer   When Thomas rises up he always has an priceless mischievous look on his face.

  1. At the end of “Hava Negeela,” Hunter Hughes has a part where he is playing two of the largest bells at the same time.  He bounces around to the music and looks like a stud because the bells he is throwing around are so big.  You go bro! It’s hard to say anything other than “Hava Nageela” is really, really, really, cool.
2.      Air on a Scottish Folk song” is simply beautiful.  The chimes have a clean and sweet sound.
 
  1. Three of our students will offer their testimonies at the home concert, a repeat of the stories they shared throughout the tour this year.  You need to support our students are they testify to the glory of God, and share the good news of Christ in their lives with you!


Please come and support our Bell Choir.
