Ensembles

We believe that the key to your happiness and success is in pairing you with the right ensemble to play in.  We feature ensemble opportunities for everyone at all levels.  Most of our ensembles have a come and play membership requirement, whereas some require an additional audition, but all ensembles will ask for your commitment to be at rehearsals consistently and with an attitude focused on growth.

The backbone and genesis of our organization came from and is constantly grown by our Children's and Youth Ringing Programs.  Here at the Society each student is carefully placed in an ensemble to help them grow and achieve success at their own pace and according to their individual abilities.

Every Ringer Counts!

We believe that one of the secrets to our success has been in that motto.  From the youngest to the oldest and the lowest level beginner to the most elite professional, every member of the Stafford Regional Handbell Society matters.  Our 7,000 square foot rehearsal and performance center as well as our extensive inventory of handbells is at the disposal of every member, every hour of the day.  Our entire staff is available to help you in your journey to becoming a happier, healthier and skilled handbell musician.  It's not just our motto, it's how we live.

More Than Just a Membership

Your participation in the Stafford Handbell Society is so much more than just a membership. We are developing entirely new methods of reaching a larger audience, we are changing young lives through a love of handbells, and we are truly a fellowship of ringers. We look forward to welcoming you into the family.

SRHS is the first place I’ve ever rung where I’ve been so warmly welcomed from the moment I walked through the door. The styles of music and techniques are challenging yet exciting. I’m in awe of the opportunities that are in seemingly endless abundance. I treasure the time I spend with my fellow ding-a-lings in rehearsal as well as performance and I’m looking forward to whatever comes in the future. Thank you SRHS!
