Tour approacheth
Do you know how much work is put in planning a tour? And especially one that's going overseas! We've* been putting in an incredible amount of time, arranging for transportation (airline tickets, getting all our equipment to Britain, rental vans for while we're there), packaging the bells, equipment and concert essentials into units that are as small as possible, setting up concerts and homestays, arranging for lodging for nights we're not staying with British ringing friends.... The list goes on and on.
There's some preliminary information about our concert schedule on our Calendar page.
* And by "we," I mean mostly Cindy and Bill.

Christmas in Duluth - 2009
Here's a video of the rehearsal for this year's Christmas Eve bellchoir, Extollers. We had 36 signed up to ring, but a Christmas Eve blizzard kept a few from the rehearsal. The weather let up during the day and the decision was made to proceed with the candlelight service. We only had one person unable to return due to the weather, but we gained a few who couldn't make it in the morning.
The piece is O Little Town of Bethlehem, arranged by Cathy Moklebust
As you watch keep in mind that there is indeed a blizzard outside dumping up to 2 feet of snow in the Duluth area.
