Handbell Choir Recruiting Members

SEELEY LAKE - The Seeley-Swan Mountain Bells handbell choir is recruiting members.  The choir is a local community handbell choir that participates in several local events throughout the year.  The choir practices on Mondays, from 3-5 pm, at the Presbyterian church.  If you can read music – even if very rusty – please come to a practice or two or three and see how you like it. 

Warning:  handbells are addictive!

If you don’t read music, we are considering starting a “learn to read music with handbells” class.  Please contact Joann Wallenburn at (406) 370-2483 or joann.wallenburn@gmail.com if you might be interested in such a class.  It would meet for an hour a week at the same location.  Date and time would be dependent on everyone’s schedules.
