Handbells

We have three Handbell Choirs at SCS.  6th grade, 7th-8th grade, and 9th-12th grade Handbell Choirs.  The groups perform at the Christmas Concert, Spring Competitions, and other special events. The groups meet twice a week during activity periods.  

About the Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir has been a part of the Fine Arts of SCS since early on. The appeal of handbells in our school has had a rich history because of the immense educational value bells add to the music curriculum. They are challenging and fun to play. Handbells reinforce music reading and theory; they make a beautiful sound and stay in tune. The basic techniques are easily learned, yet there is considerable room for the development of very advanced techniques and musicality.
