I'm sure that they will appear on the Hour of Power TV broadcasts. Jason and ROF - thank you for sharing your incredible talent, and inspiring others. The Bells of Tualatin Valley Junior Academy will be the only youth group to perform at Pinnacle 2000, a gathering of top hand bell ensembles Jan. 20-23 at the Alexis Park Hotel near the Sunset Strip. Challenging the perception of bells as a slightly musty style of traditional church music, Wells and his cohorts will take to Vegas an inspired brand of bell ringing that has been thrilling audiences, both locally and regionally, for three years. Wells, a bell ringer from way back, began his tintinnabulation as a seventh-grader in Southern California.

Each time they played the audience erupted with applause and cheers. The concert closed with a thunderous standing ovation. THIS is the sort of program that must be built. He obviously does not compromise his standards of quality, as evidenced by the playing of these kids. Each of the kids, while playing, was focused solely on Jason - the rest of us were just bystanders in this synergistic display of outstanding musicality.
