| Welcome to the the web site of the Denton Bell Band, Inc. We perform music with handbells, chimes and synthesizer for local events during the school year and for audiences all across Texas during our Annual Tour each spring. We receive support from the Greater Denton Arts Council, The Arts Guild of Denton, Texas Commission on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Principal funding is from our friends in the community. You may contact us at (940)898-2515 (W), (940)453-3273 (C), or by e-mail: joseph.pinson@verizon.net |
| The man playing the drum in the photo is James Peacock. He was a member of the Bell Band for many years. He lost a long battle with Alzheimer's disease in December, 2007. There was a service in memory of James at the Denton State School Chapel. There were almost 200 people in attendance - a fitting testimony to the impact that he had on many lives. We will miss James but will remember all the good things he taught us. |
We are hoping to
eventually get some
sponsorship from
corporations. We are
making some changes
that should help us be
more "marketable".
We know that we
cannot be that which
we are not, but if
changes can benefit
members in any way,
we need to move in
that direction.
If you have ideas and
want to help, please
contact Mr. Pinson.
Your suggestions and
assistance are always
welcome.
