UTG PHOTOS: Taking Back Sunday & The Maine (11/3/11)

While working Autumn Alive for Music Industry Management Association (MIMA), UTG Photographer Tori Thomas captured Taking Back Sunday and The Maine at Ferris State University on November 3, 2011.

The show kicked off with The Maine performing new songs and progressing into older fan favorites like “Into Your Arms.” Once Taking Back Sunday hit the stage, the audience was deafening from excitement.
