I was honored to meet this bell choir when they came to E.D. White Catholic High School in Thibodaux, which is where I am in 12th grade. We hosted its members and became the best of friends with all of them. If any of the members are reading this, Merry Christmas to you guys, good luck in the future, and keep up the good work. I hope to see you again someday, as do all of the the people who came to know you through cultural exchange and through your unique musical idiom.
For those who have not heard their music, you are in for a real treat. Even if you are never able to see them live, the cd is a great way to enjoy their music.

Everyone has a favourite recording and this is my Christmas favourite. I worked with this team of ringers and know the hours they dedicated and the love of their craft which grew over their years together. They are seniors in a secondary school, have performed with the BBC symphony Orchestra and won acclaim at the National Handbell Rally in York England; they have toured the US three times both entertaining and educating their audiences. I highly recommend the recording. Exaimine its contents and you will remember the melodies from your youth and from the collection of Christmas music fondly stored in your mind and heart.
