Sparks United Methodist Church, 1231 Pyramid Way, Sparks, NV 89431, USATintabulations, a community handbell ensemble in Reno, Nevada, presents their winter concert of holiday stories and music.
The concert, entitled “O Biggest Little Town,” presents modern arrangements of classic holiday songs performed on handbells.

Barb Walsh, the group’s director and retired Washoe County Schools music teacher, started Tintab with a group of ambitious high school students.
