This workshop will feature mass rehearsals where all will work on 3 or 4 pieces together as a group under the direction of Jane Wright. Then in sectionals, member of the Capital City Ringers will answer questions and help individuals with ringing techniques and problem areas. In the afternoon, there will be a reading session or new handbell music and “old chestnuts” (sponsored by Shattinger Music) and the day will close with a “performance”  of the four pieces worked on.
