The University Ringers Handbell
Choir from Oklahoma Baptist University is recognized as one of America's
most outstanding bell choirs. The 10-member audition group, directed
by Mary Kay Parrish, rings five octaves of Schulmerich handbells and
three octaves of Malmark Choir Chimes. In 1990, the group was included
in the first edition of the American
Guild of English Handbell Ringers' publication, Handbells in Education,
as one of two college handbell programs in the United States designated
as "Exemplary." They have been featured at the AGEHR
National Directors' Convention in Dallas and on the Southern Baptist
Church Music Conference program in St. Louis. They have also appeared
with Diane Bish on her syndicated television program, "The Joy of
Music." Each year the Ringers maintain a full schedule of concerts
in Oklahoma and Texas in addition to a tour. Tours have taken them
to 26 states from California to New York, Florida to Michigan.
