AUGUST 16, 2025 – Norman, OK and Austin, Tx
Come join your fellow Area 9 ringers at this year’s Fall Fanfare! With locations in Texas and Oklahoma, ringers across the region will have the opportunity to gather for a day of instruction in advance of the new ringing year. There will be classes appropriate for both ringers and directors.
We listened to your suggestions. Fall Fanfare is earlier this year. August 16th, 2025. This will allow your new ringers to attend the Rookie Ringers class and come to your first rehearsal ready to ring. Also, this will allow an earlier preview of Spring Ring Repertoire and other new repertoire you can include in your schedule for the season.
All registrations include lunch.

What equipment do I need to bring?
You should be fine bringing only a pair of gloves. Since we are using bells that have been loaned to us, we ask that you wear gloves when ringing. If any classes require any special equipment, you will be advised in the class description.
Anything else I should know?
Be sure and dress comfortably and wear comfortable shoes. If you need a pad or rug to stand on, please bring it. It is August and we live where the temperatures go high. You can plan on the facilities being cool enough to accommodate larger groups. If you tend to get cold quickly, you should probably bring a sweater or light jacket.
