I had handbell practice tonight, which I've been looking forward to all week, for church's Christmas cantata on Sunday and the 11pm Christmas Eve service. It was a good rehearsal and I think we're in good shape - especially since we've got *a lot* of new people this year. (We've been "off" for a few years and only about a third of us had done bells before.) And I feel a lot better about one piece now that I have it marked correctly so I know when to change bells (I play three in it) and also, so I have the right notes marked. (While I can read music, I'm slowly learing the bass cleft, so my brain doesn't always give the answer right away and when we're playing, I don't have time to think about that.) I'm excited about playing - I've missed it!
