An introduction to the traditional British way of ringing bells called change ringing. Because of the way the bells are hung in a church tower, we do not ring tunes on the bells. Instead, we ring permutations of the bell orders by following particular mathematical patterns. It's music! It's a realtime multiplayer orientation game! It's the most fun you'll ever have counting to eight!  Come give it a try. No previous musical experience necessary. All are welcome.
