The North Carolina Baptist State Youth Handbell Festival offers outstanding training and playing opportunities for middle- and high-school bell ringers.

Reward your choir’s year of hard work and dedication by selecting a favorite piece from your repertoire to share with other choirs at the festival during “parade time.” Parades are usually held Friday evening and Saturday morning. Seasonal selections, such as Christmas pieces, are welcomed and encouraged. We can be flexible to meet anyone’s schedule with rehearsal times and last minute changes of schedule.

This part of the festival offers your choir the opportunity to ring in a low-stress performance environment. For choirs that would like to participate in parades, please list your musical selection and indicate your individual choir rehearsal time preference on your registration form.
