The Northwest Campanologist
School is back in session and choirs are beginning their rehearsals. What a great time to start talking about ringing opportunities this fall, winter, and spring. In October, there is Coppers Classic as well as the first annual Central Oregon Handbell Festival. The Snake River Handbell Conference is in February, Inland Northwest Handbell Conference is in March, and Siskiyou Summit Handbell Conference is in May. Information for these with repertoire for some is in the articles below. Talk with your choirs and begin making plans to attend an event.
Please forward this newsletter to your choir members and to anyone else who would be interested in all the concerts and events. Encourage them to subscribe to the newsletter. Click "Join our mailing list" at the bottom of the left column or click the newsletter link on our website,

Notes from the Chair ...
Last month I reported on a class I took at National Seminar on a new program from Malmark called ChimeWorks. In fairness to our other HIC members, I thought this month I would talk about the HIC in general and all they have to offer.
I must admit that for a long time I didn't really know what the HIC was. HIC stands for Handbell Industry Council and
represents those organizations with a business interest in the handbell art form. HIC members include publishers, retailers, manufacturers, performers, and many other companies that provide services and supplies to the world of handbells and handchimes.
The membership of HIC falls into several categories of products and services:
- Handbell/Handchime manufacturers, retailers, service, and repairs
- Handbell support hardware - tables, ringing accessories
- Handbell Music - publishers, retailers
- Handbell related accessories - cases, awards, apparel, gifts, specialty items
- Educational Services
- Professional Groups
- Tour & Travel Services
- Artwork & Graphics
HIC vendors are in the booths you see at events with music, bells, gifts, etc. I love the chance they provide to hands-on shop! HIC members provide a wealth of information and materials to further our execution and enjoyment of ringing.
We have a few members of HIC right here in Area 10. Bells of the Sound is a community group in Seattle, WA. Blanche Kangas runs Bell Buggy Express, a music supply house in Spokane WA. A new find for me was MyMusicFolders, a company in Missoula, MT who makes music folders and choir robes. All of the HIC members can be found at:
or
Do your best to support all the HIC members you see at events or online. We couldn't do what we do without them!

Coppers Classic 2017
Love to ring? Love a ringing challenge? Need a place to ring with other handbell musicians as passionate as you are about our wonderful instrument? Then Coppers Classic is for you!
Coppers Classic is an all-ringing event designed for intermediate, coppers level handbell musicians whose goal is to inspire these musicians to challenge themselves to higher levels of accomplishment technically and musically. We provide a safe, supportive and enthusiastic environment for you to spread your wings and discover your inner amazing handbell musician with repertoire designed to teach towards that goal, to refine skills and develop a finer sense of overall musicianship.
When: Friday-Sunday, October 13-15
Where: University Place Hotel and Conference Center, Portland, Oregon
Who: Registration still open for adults and full-time students
"
When the Coppers Classic event started three years ago, I jumped at the chance to play. The reasons why - the variety in the music, the difficulty in the rhythms, the camaraderie
with the other ringers, the musicality of each piece, and understanding the story behind the piece. I love playing at the Coppers Classic." Linda Massey, Coppers Classic alum
This event is sponsored by Handbell Musicians of America.

Siskiyou Summit Handbell Conference
May 4-5, 2018
Ashland Middle School, Ashland, Oregon
I am pleased to announce that our Guest Conductor/Clinician for 2018 is Barb Walsh, the Artistic Director and Conductor of Tintabulations-a premier community handbell choir out of Reno Nevada. Barb brings an energy and passion to her conducting which inspires those who ring under her baton to give there all to the music. The 2018 repertoire is a nice mix of original compositions and arrangements, many incorporating added instrumentation.
Ellie Hodder is once again on the podium for the Bronze Conference Choir-this choir is by application for those ringers who what a challenge and a chance to ring more.
The conference opens with a Massed Ringing Rehearsal on Friday, May 4th at 7pm with the BCC rehearsals beginning at 4pm.
Because of the ever increasing costs to put on an event like this the registration has been raised to $70/person. Early Bird registration of $70 is good until March 1st, after March 1st registration will be $80/person. Registration, BCC application and lodging information will be available beginning January 1st on the Area 10 Website. If you wish to receive your registration materials electronically please contact Diane Barnes at dkbarnes@jeffnet.org with your e-mail information.
This event is sponsored by Handbell Musicians of America.

Pacific NW Handbell Directors' & Musicians' Forum
One of our best workshops to-date, this Saturday event will get all directors and handbell musicians off to a great start on their ringing season.
How about a review of what's new, ergonomic and correct in handbell technique? Weaving without worry and marts without messes. Or, is sight reading a challenge for you or your ensemble? There are ways to make this all fall in place and become easier. AND, spend the afternoon checking out some of the newest handbell compositions with great directors. A fabulous annual event.
When: Saturday, September 9, 8:30-3:30
Where: St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 10390 SW Canyon Rd, Beaverton, OR
Cost: $20 ($25 day of)
