Children's choir, breakfast salad and generous guests make up part of CBC KW's Sounds of the Season

Our annual Sounds of the Season show is over for another year, but you can relive the magic with these photos.

Not to mention the coffee, interviews, selfie station and more amazing music

This year's Sounds of the Season had everything you could ask for great music, a free food sample, interesting interviews and the festive spirit.

The annual event collects food and raises money for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

If you weren't able to join us at TheMuseum in downtown Kitchener for the live broadcast of The Morning Edition with host Craig Norris and members of the CBC KW team special thanks to Joe Pavia for manning the sound board back at the office here are a few photos of what you may have heard while listening on your radio, online or on your CBC Radio app.

You came early

People began arriving at Sounds of the Season before 5:30 a.m. to snag a seat. Thank goodness for coffee from Matter of Taste.

You listened to interviews, including one with three young girls who have raised money to buy dolls for those less fortunate.

Many things to do

Of course, we were all there for the show, but we also had other things to do.

There was a raffle and silent auction to benefit the food bank. As well, there was a selfie station and some of you recorded some items for radio.

Salad for breakfast?

Some might have questioned chef Jonathan Gushue of The Berlin when he said he was making his version of Japanese breakfast salad, but no one questioned how good it tasted.

Eager to try it at home? You're in luck Gushue shared the recipe with us.

It will also be part of a new project being launched by The Food Bank of Waterloo Region they're hoping to get local chefs involved in a new cookbook that highlights food bank staples in meals.

CBC KW would like to thank everyone who came out to the show this year, TheMuseum for hosting this event again this year and to the sponsors who donated items so we could raise even more money for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

Financial donations are still being accepted online on our Sounds of the Season website and food donations can be dropped off at our office at 117 King St. W., Kitchener, during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, until December 30.
