The goal of the organization is to bring advanced sacred and secular handbell music to the community and to promote the art of handbell ringing.

The Metropolitan Bells would love for you to attend our auditions which will be held on Monday evening, August 12, at 7pm. Auditions take place at Christ UMC, 8645 East Brainerd Road

Our audition process consists of a basic music and handbell notation knowledge assessment, skills demonstration in various ringing positions, and sightreading exercises to show ringing style.
