Christmas Medley by Ashford Concert Band (Christmas Festival of Music 2024)
No sooner had we begun, it was time to end our Christmas Festival of Music 2024, but not before we had sent off our audience with warm festive feelings (and a little sing-song) from our MD's excellent Christmas Medley, an arrangement of some of the finest Christmas songs from past years.
We had an absolute blast performing some great festive pieces, and were proud to support the Kent & Medway Young Musicians Trust during the concert. On behalf of the band, we thank all those who joined us, and everyone for watching our highlights. See you in 2025!

This is such a brilliant arrangement.
I originally wrote this has a gospel choir piece, but thought it would also be good for band. Tim does such a great job in the solo.
Brilliant!
Wow! We've come so far under Wes' baton
Sounds fantastic!
