Centre Stage Percussion has received a ringing endorsement for their percussion hire service from the Wychavon Festival of Brass contest organisers.

Delighted

The company provided all the percussion for the three halls in use at the contest last weekend, with Contest Organiser, Valerie Trim delighted with the service provided.

"The Centre Stage team arrived on Friday evening, and as well as setting up the percussion in the three halls, also graciously helped set up the remaining equipment in the halls.

On the day a member of their team was in each hall helping bands with set up on and off stage, talking through the equipment with all the players and always with a smile!"

Looked after

Val added: "Several of the playing bands reported back about not only the quality and great sound of the equipment, but also about the helpful and instructive manner the Centre Stage team looked after them.

We have no hesitation in recommending Centre Stage Percussion and we shall certainly be using them again at every opportunity."
