2nd Post with a 2nd photo link - because one post can't showcase them all!

MMUP's wonderful volunteer photographers went all over the Valley, donating their time and talent to make sure that every musician who played on June 21st was photographed. There are also some wonderful photos of the venues, the yarn bombing, and the audiences! Enjoy this look back at this year's Make Music Upper Perk.

We had quite a crew of photographers who recorded the story of the day, zigzagging across the Valley to try to capture each musician ' on film'. What a treasure they share with all of us. They are editing and curating thousands of photos, and when they are all ready, we will be sure to let you know!
