Holiday Headstart 2024
Ring Sarasota’s popular “Holiday Headstart” workshop is back for its second year, offering an opportunity for handbell choirs to get a jumpstart on their Christmas programs!
During this one-day workshop, participating handbell choirs will work on music appropriate for the advent and Christmas season. All selections are easily accessible for any choir, no matter the size or experience. After working through the pieces, the ringers will perform the music for the public to boost their confidence and get audience members in the Christmas spirit. Any handbell or handbchime ringer is encouraged to participate – individuals and groups are welcome to sign-up! Lunch will be provided and the public performance will be held at 3 pm.
