Mosaic's final concert for this November's series was one for the books!! Great audience and a lovely collaboration with Massanutten Ringers - who played Precious Child with us and premiered their commission for their director, Carol Lown - Morning Stars. With a sick ringer calling out this morning, we reassigned or overlapped positions on half of our pieces (my head almost exploded playing FG5 and CD6!! in two pieces) - and Emily subbed on the other 5 that we simply couldn't cover. Proud of all ringers! Looking forward to a month off and getting back together Jan. 3!!

Mossic celebrated the beginning of a new season with a 9-2 workshop. Played through almost everything in our books and had an informal meeting over lunch. So glad Hans could join us to double a position for fun! Things are “Looking Up!”
