To Australia!

The ringers from Emanuel and Katonah are off and on their way to Australia and New Zealand for their 3 weeks tour this afternoon.         They will have ringing tour and attend the 18th World Symposium of English Handbells.         Here is the send off picture taken in between the erratic shower falls since last night.

At the Kendal

Some members of ERI,II,III and an alumni participated in the Annual Handbell concert of the Handbell group of Kendal on Hudson on May 30th, 2018.       The Kendal group was formed when our late Handbell Director Emeritus, Mrs. RoseMarie Wildman moved into this Senior Living Community in Tarrytown and kick started the group.          Eiko now conduct the group and on this day invited members of Emanuel Ringers to perform together with the Kendal group.
Although the audience was limited to the residents of the facility and limited in size, ER ringers were well appreciated by the audience and the ringers of Kendal group alike, judging from the comments heard at the conclusion of the program.

June 28, 2017

We arrived safely at Onondaga Community College. Those who left from church ended up at a local place in Binghamton (Carolyn, Chloe's mom's hometown) called Sharkey's. We enjoyed meat sandwiches called Spiedies, (pork and chicken).

After lunch we arrived at the college and met up with the rest of our group. Dropped off our stuff in our dorms, and went straight the gym to set up for rehearsal. 

We are one of 6 choirs attending. Nick Hanson is our director. 

So by the end of the evening, the ringers attended rehearsals, solo concert, had dinner, and attended 2 workshops. Workshops were Getting crafty, making tie dye gloves and picture frames. The ringers and chaperones also made cards that will be handed out to recipients of Meals on Wheels in the Syracuse area. The group split up for the next set of classes, either to Technique games, reinforcing of bell techniques, or cup game and speed stacking.
