BackStage Pass from WKAR We've gotten an inquiry about our upcoming December 17th Christmas show. As those of you who attended shows this past Spring know, we asked each group to perform one holiday/Christmas selection as part of their set list. The December 17th program is a compilation of those performances. So, no live concert in December.... We'll begin our 3rd season of concerts starting in April 2010. -TZ

BackStage Pass from WKAR I just saw the graphic design for our print ad promoting "A BackStage Pass Christmas" (December 17th at 10pm). Looks great! It features a photo of Jen Sygit and Freddie Cunningham. Keep an eye out for it next month! - TZ

BackStage Pass from WKAR We're thinking of asking our facebook fans of BackStage Pass to help us select music for a "Best of BackStage Pass" program to air in March of 2010. We'd provide a list of songs performed in Season 2 and you, the BSP fans would tell us which ones you'd like to see and hear in the special. What do you think of this ide...a? Is that something you would be interested in doing? -TZ

BackStage Pass from WKAR Just finished watching Scott Schoessel's most recent edit of organissimo. Great job! With Stan Sochay's audio mix, it looks and sounds killer. Just a couple more tweaks and it will be done. Then on to Huck Groove. - TZ

BackStage Pass from WKAR I spoke with a reporter from Revue Magazine yesterday. They are planning an article about BackStage Pass for their December issue. Revue is a very new monthly publication focusing on entertainment in mid and west Michigan. The November issue is out, so pick up a free copy when you see it, and keep an eye out in December for the BackStage Pass feature. - TZ

BackStage Pass from WKAR I spent a little time talking with our staging and lighting guru Ken Merley as he was assembling some new truss and lights for a jazz music pilot we're taping next week. Our BackStage Pass "mothership" (the main projection screen and lighting grid) will look a little different come next Spring. See the changes for your...self as we start Season 3 concert production April 13 & 14, 2010.

BackStage Pass from WKAR There is an encore broadcast of "H2 Quartet on BackStage Pass" coming up on November 12th at 11:30pm on WKAR23. If you haven't had a chance to see this amazing saxophone quartet, set your DVR! - TZ

BackStage Pass from WKAR Looking at our proposed production schedule for 2010, we realized that we had a performance taping scheduled for June 30. No big deal- except that is also the day U2 comes to the MSU campus. So rather than ask our audience to battle 75,000 U2 fans tailgating around our building, we'll be moving that concert to another day... - TZ
