Many of the participants are also playing various musical instruments. Image 30 shows a woman seated at a piano. The woman has an up-do haircut and glasses with a chain attached. She is wearing a dress with a geometric pattern. She appears to be playing the piano and singing. Her head and body are turned partially toward the right-hand side of the image. She is looking toward the camera. Image 31 is very similar to the previous image, but here the woman is facing toward the piano. She is shown in profile.

The man at right has his hair combed straight back and is wearing a short-sleeved, button-up shirt. He is looking toward the camera and smiling.
