Change ringing is the traditional British style of ringing bells. It was was brought over to the States in colonial times (Paul Revere was a bellringer), and has only recently started to regain popularity. We follow mathematical patterns instead of sheet music to ring up to 8 large tower bells (weighing up to a ton each!), with each bell controlled by a single rope. Come listen to us, then try it yourself. Previous musical experience is completely unnecessary.
