Photos from Ashton Music Festival

These are some images taken during the Senior Band's spot at the Ashton Music Festival concert last Wednesday, 22nd September.  Apologies to the 'B' Band and Youth Band that there are no pictures available of their performances.  If you took some and are happy for them to be included here, please e-mail the band at pembertonband@hotmail.co.uk so that we can include them.

We then finished the programme with excerpts from "On the Shoulders of Giants":

As you can see, the audience really enjoyed our performance:

The audience appreciated our performance so much, that we had to give them more, and "MacArthur Park" has become a regular in our concerts recently:

Further appluase...

 ..this time it's time to go!
