Advert: Centre Stage Uniforms

Centre Stage to be centre stage at Cheltenham with brilliant new ranges on offer.

Centre Stage Uniforms
 

Centre Stage Uniforms will literally be taking ‘centre stage’ at Cheltenham this weekend at the National Finals.

Stage crew

Not only are they one of the event sponsors, but the hard working stage crew will also be kitted out in fantastic Centre Stage polo shirts.

Launch

Also being launched at Cheltenham is the brand new waterproofing finish for band jackets – a unique development that offers bands something they cannot get anywhere else.

MD Martin Gernon told 4BR: "Our lovely British climate means that bands are at the mercy of the weather whenever they have outdoor engagements. We have been working closely with a major UK company to develop a fabric coating that makes our jackets waterproof and stainproof — perfect for today’s modern bandsman!"

Inexpensive

He added: "The coating is applied to the fabric prior to jacket manufacture, so unfortunately we cannot apply this to existing jackets in the marketplace, just for new orders. It provides an inexpensive way of maintaining the look and care of your band jackets, and will last up to 50 dry cleaning cycles."

Centre Stage will have some of the new jackets on display at the stand, so please come along and check them out!!
