Join Pikes Peak Ringers in this opportunity for handbell directors and ringers to read through music for all seasons, decide what you like, and purchase music at a discount for your choir to use during the year. Bring your choir or come alone and meet new people!

Sessions will include general music and seasonal music for Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.

  • Directors: Select music for the upcoming year
  • Ringers: Have fun, boost your sight-reading skills, and try new positions!

Pikes Peak Ringers will provide the bells, chimes, mallets, tables and foam, along with coffee, tea, water, and snacks. Our own members will be there, ringing with you, and available for questions and advice!

Be sure to bring your own:

  • gloves
  • easel binders and/or stands
  • lunch (refrigerator and microwave available)
  • smiles!

Our registration process:

This year we have a registration form for Read & Ring! Using Google Forms, we are asking each person to register themselves individually, even if you are a member of a group of ringers.

If you are in a group or church choir, we’ll still ask for your ensemble or church name, whether there’s just one of you or several. It’s always good to see what organizations from the area are being represented.

Click here for this year’s REGISTRATION FORM.
You’ll find complete payment instructions and you’ll receive a copy of your submission for your records.

Pikes Peak Ringers is a nonprofit, and we put on the Read & Ring using all-volunteer labor. To help us plan a successful event, we encourage you to register as early as you can. Thank you!
