Save the Music is a wonderful family event held every October. Thank you for making the 9th annual Save the Music festival a success in 2011! We hope that your family had a great time. The festival’s three stages showcased a variety of music, including performances from our local elementary, middle and high school students. Unique for 2011 was an impressive Battle of the UC Marching Bands featuring Cal Berkeley and UC Davis. A large children’s area entertained the kids all day with a wide variety of hands-on activities while parents enjoyed the delicious food and beverages. Special thanks to Jeff Bartee photography for the wonderful photos taken at the festival this year, including the photos seen on this page. Jeff is allowing photos to be downloaded for FREE, so share your favorites and please make sure to give him credit!
