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.

Registration before August 1st — $35

Registration August 1st and after — $50

6 or more from same organization — $25 each. There is no deadline for this option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit to enter the event?

What are my parking options getting to the event?
There is plenty of free on-site parking for this event at all locations.

Do I have to be a member of Handbell Musicians of America to attend this event?
No. All ringers at all skill levels are invited to join us at Fall Fanfare 2025.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
You can find contact information for all Handbell Musicians of America Area 9 officers at area9.handbellmusicians.org. You can contact the event registrar – Jeanne Christopherson, Treasurer – directly at [email protected].

Is my registration refundable?
Registration for this event is refundable when requested prior to the registration deadline for the location. Refund requests made after the registration deadline for the location will not be accepted for any reason. Please e-mail your refund request to Jeanne Christopherson at [email protected].

Can I update my registration information?

Is my registration transferable to another event?
Registration for this event is not transferable to other events.

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.
