The Bell Choir at Hastings College, a pioneer in Nebraska collegiate ensembles, rings with five octaves of Schulmerich bells and chimes. The HC Bell Choir performs on and off campus during each semester, has participated in tours and workshops, and is the only bell choir to have been invited to perform at the Nebraska Music Educators Conference. Conducted by Dr. Byron Jensen, the ensemble meets twice weekly to explore a variety of sacred and secular literature; membership is open to all Hastings College students.
