Join us for three days of ringing at Westminster!
On Saturday, September 5, Sunday, September 6 and Monday, September 7 (Labor Day), alumni of the Westminster Concert Bell Choir will be getting together to prepare challenging repertoire to share with current Westminster students and the public at a concert performance on Monday, September 7, at 2 p.m. in the Yvonne Theater in the Fine Arts Building.
Please register by June 30.
As in previous events we ask each registering member to commit to all rehearsals on all three days. This will help in solidifying assignments.
Conducting/Repertoire Proposal
Included in the registration form is a section for those wishing to propose to conduct a piece! Our theme of the concert will be “Around the World". If you’re looking for guidance, think “The Girl from Ipanema”, “Sway” or “Moon Over the Ruined Castle”
If you are interested in conducting, please include a PDF of the piece where prompted. We’ll be limited to a maximum of 8 pieces. Concert selections will be determined by level of difficulty as well as selections that will create the most well rounded concert.
There will not be a budget for purchasing music. Music will be provided by the conductor or from the WCC Handbell music library. Once registration is closed we will let folks know how many copies will be needed and can assist in finding extra copies if necessary. If you would like to peruse the WCC Handbell library, please email Gillian Erlenborn to establish a time to meet.
Socials/Meals
On Saturday, September 5 we’ll hold a potluck lunch at a location TBD.
In the registration form you’ll be asked to mention some of your favorite places in Princeton. On Sunday, our plan is to head into Princeton for dinner! To attend, we'll send a separate message after registration closes.
On Monday, plan to bring a bagged lunch or consider Grub Hub/Door Dash.
Cost
While the event is at no cost, we invite participants to make a donation to the Westminster Annual Fund or Westminster Scholarship Fund!
