The rope is up. Who's on the treble? Log changes, line up the band, and prep the tower before Sunday.

Leads in the method

Four bands of value — each lead in the touch, from first pull to quarter peal.

  1. 1

    Method session & bell preview

    Mark smooth and broken changes per lead, scrub through bell order at each change, and flag Sunday prep touches before the first pull.

  2. 2

    Today dashboard & tower weather

    Count down to service, read wind on the tower, see which bells tripped you last practice, and pick focus bells for the next touch.

  3. 3

    Roster board & conducting log

    Line up who stands on treble and tenor, record stand positions, and jot what the conductor called at every lead in the method.

  4. 4

    Prep checklist & peals tracker

    Keys, muffles, and stair safety before anyone climbs. Archive past touches and count progress toward quarter and full peals.
