Join the Steno Love Karaoke Party in celebration of Court Reporting & Captioning Week. This event is great for court reporting students, court reporters, instructors, and anyone else who loves music, karaoke, and steno. We will have giveaways and prizes*. No singing required!
Margary Rogers, RPR, CRI, an official court reporter and NCRA Board Member from Washington, D.C., will once again host this steno karaoke night. She first entertained students with Court Reporter Holiday Karaoke back in 2020, a virtual session where attendees wrote lyrics to songs such as “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow,” by Dean Martin and “Christmas Rappin,’” by Kurtis Blow. The event was such a success that she has held karaoke nights for Court Reporting & Captioning Weeks every year since. This year’s Steno Love Karaoke Party takes place on Friday, Feb. 7, from 8-9:15 p.m. Eastern.
What is steno karaoke?
Court reporters and students, using their steno machines, write in realtime to their favorite love songs. The steno karaoke writers share their realtime screens and their songs at the event while their peers (attendees) observe the realtime display, with steno outlines, while they enjoy the love music. This is a great opportunity to learn some new steno briefs or phrases as well as discover a love for captioning and writing in realtime to music.
