For 2026, we will start streaming live from Brush Square starting about 11:00 am until the conclusion 6 hours later. We will try our best to cope with outdoor conditions, variable bandwidth, bad camera settings, battery death, operator inattention, network failures etc. etc. If the video freezes, wait awhile and refresh. We are volunteers and streaming doesn't always work, so please be patient while we make corrections. We monitor YouTube channel comments about sound levels etc. and @punoffatx on X for your feedback. If the stream URL changes from those below, it will be posted on @punoffatx. If live streaming fails, we record camcorder video to upload online later to YouTube. (Note: there will be about a 7 second delay from the real-time audience experience.)
