Hello, STEP friends - Every so often, Brandon STEP invites WCG-TV (The local cable channel) to record us - solo recitals, repertoire for the Christmas season, and end-of-term concerts. Here are the airing times of the latest batch:

- The Christmas recordings made on 18 November: 9 December at 2pm, 12 December at 11am, 14 December at 7:30pm, 15 December at 10:30am, 16 December at 2pm, and 17 December at 8pm.
- Solo recitals of 28 October: 14 December at 6pm, 15 December at 9am.

The 2 December concerts were recorded, but as of today's date (9 December) are still in post-production. Airing times will appear on this page when available.

Interested parties who do not have WCG-TV can purchase copies of these recordings through email ([email protected]) or by phone at 204-717-2611.

Hey there, Brandon STEP friends - big, big kudos on a fantastic set of concerts this afternoon! It's a real honour to be co-directing with Rob Richardson this fine program of ours this year!

Cheers;
Paul
