Welcome to Area 8 - Handbell Musicians of America!

The primary objectives of the Area 8 guild are to educate, to promote the exchange of ideas relating to handbell and hand chime ringing, and to sponsor educational and performance activities within the Area that are not exclusively competitive.

Area 8 Guild covers the states of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Each states website can be accessed by clicking their state outline located on every page.
