Joyful Noise

For our Christmas church service each family was encouraged to present something. I've always wanted to be in a bell choir, but never had the opportunity. So about a year ago we purchased these bells for the family. We hadn't really done much with them, so Ken suggested that we dust them off and try our hand at some carols.

Kyle was up for the weekend so he joined in. What a good sport.

We had to tranpose the music because it was from one of our old piano books. That confused us a bit until Gretchen wrote out the music as colored dots. The colors matched the bells of course. Then we could follow!

We did only melody with the exception of the "Amen" at the end.

I'm sorry that I don't have a picture of us performing. It was a LOT of fun. Next year we go for harmony!
