Pinnacle Day 2

Pinnacle is an amazing experience. Imaging 800 of the best handbell ringers in North America in the same place! Our day consists of classes, concerts, classes, and more concerts.
Some of the showcase choirs have been incredible. Circle City Ringers from Indianapolis, IN wowed the crowd by leaving it all on the table. It was a great show.
We've had some Nashville fun, too. Last night Sonos, the professionals from Northern California, became the first handbell ensemble to perform at the Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand Ole Opry. We preceeded the concert with a fun blues and brews meal at BB King's House of Blues.
Tonight we're headed the the historic 1st Baptist Church in downtown Nashville to hear the Agape Ringers.
Tomorrow, it's our turn! We had a really fun "airbell rehearsal" today, since our equipment is still on the bus. We not only got ready to ring, we proved why we're all ringers and not singers! (except Beth, of course)
