Mini Challenge #357 Capture the Music

I've been asked to start the next mini since lynnma and redleash weren't able to do it this time.
I have chosen Capture the Music as the theme. Music is a powerful form of art that has the power to make people feel happy, sad, or energized. What I want to see is any photos of musicians or instruments that show the emotions or feelings behind the music. I want to "hear" and feel the music when I look at the image.
I'm not sure I have the best examples, and I know I've seen others here that may better illustrate what I mean, but you get the idea.
Let's run this mini until Sunday, September 10th at 6:00 pm central daylight time. That gives everyone 3 weeks and gets us past the Labor Day holiday weekend in the US. Maybe y'all can find some good opportunities to Capture the Music during that time period!
My favorite picture of music is my daughter playing her saxophone, but I didn't take that photo so I won't post it here. I think you get the idea, though.
Please make this tough to judge! I'd like to see a little more participation with this one. I'd hate for the mini's to be discontinued....

Sherry, you have some amazing music themed photos! I don't have anything that will compete in a challenge- just a couple from some car shows. Posting anyway!
1) Hot August Nights in Reno, Nv.
2) Blues Brothers silently rocking out:
3) Wherever you go there will always be a Revival Band - either 50's or 60's!

@slpollett - Like @Cavalier, I think your sample photos are excellent and better than what I am seeing in among my photos. But I did find two and will continue to look around...
1) Local musicians playing at a "Bounty Market" that was offering farm produce, baked goods, handcrafts, and entertainment
2) Oktoberfest at Epcot
3) Music at the entrance of a church in Cote d"Ivoire
(I switched to taking a video to capture the volume and energy of this band.)

Thank you so much @Cavalier and @sapphire73 both for your wonderful entries and for the very kind comments about my music photos. I have been fortunate to be able to photograph our local high school band for the last 14 years, so I've had plenty of opportunity to get some decent music shots. I think I'm a better photographer for this experience since I had to learn to get nice sharp pictures of a moving target after dark under (usually) awful stadium lights. I've also been fortunate to attend a number of concerts near me too.
Still plenty of time for more people to enter!

Peter, thank you! These are great additions to the mini. I especially like the mobile carillon.
