Youth Festival Report
Area III 2007 Youth Handbell Festival
Over 400 young ringers in middle and high school rehearsed and performed under the direction of Raleigh Ringers' David Harris. A wide variety of classes in ringing and other fun things were attended by all, and the Richmond Conference Center and Richmond Downtown Marriott were again great places for this event.
Many thanks to Laura Shelton, festival chair; Linda Simms, program chair; and Dottie Tweedie and The James River ringers, local liaisons, for planning a wonderful 2 day event for our future handbell leaders.
Plan to attend with your youth choir next year.
