Chimes Rehearsal
We'd like to invite you to join the UUCF Chime Choir! We're a group that enjoys making beautiful music with hand chimes and we'd love to have you share in the joy of ringing.
You don't need to be able to read music. The music is color-coded for easy note identification. A passion for music and a willingness to learn is all you need. The chimes choir plays for special services.
We look forward to the possibility of you joining our chime family!
