bellringers
Church tower performers
Bellringers are people who ring bells, especially church bells as part of a coordinated group practicing change ringing—a tradition requiring precise timing and teamwork.
The term extends to anything that rings bells or signals attention.
In British slang, bellringers can mean testicles.
A bellringer may also be something outstanding: That performance was a real bellringer.
