Landon Arena will be filled with the sound of heavy metal Saturday night — but not the kind produced by distorted electric guitars. Instead, the heavy metal will be the lowest range of handbells, some of which weigh nearly 19 pounds, as they are played along with higher-pitched bells weighing as little as 7 ounces at 8 p.m. Saturday during the closing concert of the Area VIII conference of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers Inc. The gathering will draw more than 500 ringers from Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska who will meet from Thursday through Friday at the Kansas Expocentre for classes, concerts and camaraderie.
