Prairie Bells is an intermediate-level group that allows experienced ringers a chance to ring more difficult music and to learn and practice more advanced techniques.  This ensemble appeals to those ringers with several years of experience but needing knowledge or practice to learn more advanced ringing styles.  The group works on techniques each rehearsal and reads through a wide variety of level 2, 3, and 4 music.  They also learn more difficult music to perform in concert. Many of our members go on to become a Bells In Motion member when they feel comfortable auditioning for that group.  But Prairie Bells requires no audition and meets every other Sunday for 90 minutes.  By alternating rehearsals between Decatur and Springfield, the group maintains a significant presence in each community.
