There will be no missing the European support of Centre Stage Percussion and Uniforms in Lille this weekend.

Centre Stage Percussion & Uniforms will be showing its support for European-wide banding this weekend as one of the sponsors of the 2016 European Championships in Lille.

Flags

As well as providing a new set of and framed Winners Pennants for all competition categories, including the Soloist Competition, visitors will see ten 4.5m high flags adorning the flagpoles outside the Le Nouveau Siècle.

Incredible contest

MD Martin Gernon told 4BR that the company is delighted to support the 39th Championship festival. "With the event sold out for every category, a wonderful venue and arguably the strongest filed ever assembled for the Europeans, it will be an incredible contest," he said.

"We have a double sized trade stand for both our uniform and percussion ranges and are delighted that four of the competing bands, including most of the British contingent are wearing uniforms supplied by us.

Also on show will be our new 4-octave Honduran Rosewood xylophone and a triangle range (Piccolo, 6"and 8") including accessories.

Say hello

He added: "In addition our percussion mallet, and now full percussion endorsees and defending European Champions Black Dyke are appearing, so it promises to be a great weekend for Centre Stage.

We look forward to welcoming friends, old and new to the stand and I dare say a small beverage in the bar afterwards!"
