Bay Bells performs on five octaves of handbells. The amount of space required for the group is about 30 feet wide x 8 to 12 feet deep. The group rings on tables. If you supply tables for a performance, they should be 30" wide to accommodate the foam padding that protects our bells. The ensemble requires tables totaling 24-30 feet in length (e.g., four - five tables, each measuring 30 inches by 6 feet).
