This group is for intermediate or advanced handbell ringers in 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade at Greenfield Elementary School. Traditionally, this group is composed of returning handbell students who have prior instrumental experience or at least one year participating in the Greenfield Elementary Handbell Choir. Students in this group expand on their ringing skills, learn advanced techniques, and work towards learning songs to perform in their concert at the end of each quarter. They will also perform in the Daytime Music Assemblies and are the first choice for extracurricular performance opportunities. This group performs on almost 4 octaves of handbells and uses handchimes when supplemented in the music.
