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.

First are pictures from our opening number, the piece that began our Wychavon Programme "Jewish Wedding Dance":
