Today we’ll be taking a long road trip – from Mountain View to Redding – to take part in Redding Bronze. After spending nearly three years in a long-distance relationship, we think road trips together are fun – and we always look forward to this one. We’ll be driving for several hours, and will be stopping en route to search for Cherry Sours, our traditional road-trip snack. You’ll notice that they have no fat and no cholesterol – so they’re practically “health food”! Yeah, right. But we’re going to eat them anyway.
Redding Bronze is a fun and challenging handbell event! It takes place from Friday evening until Saturday evening, at First Presbyterian Church, 2315 Placer Street, Redding, CA 96001. Larry will be directing, and this year’s repertoire is as follows:
- Moon Over the Ruined Castle – arr. Kazuko Okamoto
- Beach Spring – arr. Lee Afdahl
- Guantanamera – arr. Paul McKlveen and Ann Legarde
- Knowing You – arr. Patricia Cota
- Dorian Dance – Michael Joy
- Festive Peal -Karen Thompson
- I Will Arise and Go to Jesus – arr. Larry Sue
- Diademata Festal – arr. Bill Ingram
There’s a public concert on Saturday at 4:00pm, and admission is free. If you’re anywhere near the Redding area, we’d love to see you there!
