Schedule

We all want to ring and learn, but we also have to keep up with our non-handbell parts of life. We have adjusted the schedule for Summit 2020 so you get as much time possible for both.

You will get two full days of ringing with clinicians Michèle Sharik and Forté, lots of time to refine techniques, plenty of chances to learn what is new in the handbell world, and many opportunities to shop our amazing vendors. When you need to step away and recharge, you can enjoy the best of Waco within walking distance from our event venue, head back to your hotel, or find a quiet place along the Brazos River.

Please select your path below so we can show you the correct schedule. We do not want anyone getting lost or left behind before their journey to the summit begins.
