Kevinwood have represented Australia at International Handbell Symposia. Four players represented Kevinwood at Tokyo, this involving a week at Makuhari, with performances in front of the Prince and Princess of Japan, a cultural evening when they entertained the symposium with some Aussi songs and returned with a wonderful Showa Bell for the Kevinwood Rally ringing performance.

At the 2002 symposium they provided an entertainment item on a 'typical bell rehearsal" which was greatly appreciated by the understanding audience.
