Centre Stage ready to give that little bit extra for success

Centre Stage Uniforms and Percussion will once again be supporting their 'local' Championships by giving bands just what they want.

Centre Stage
  Centre Stage is once again offering fantastic support to the North West Regional Championships.

Centre Stage Uniforms and Percussion will both bring full trade stands to the North West Regional Championships in Blackpool this weekend.

And as well as full displays of their market leading uniforms and percussion, Centre Stage has donated a £75 gift voucher to the winning band in each section.

Delighted to support

MD, Martin Gernon told 4BR: "We are delighted to once again be supporting what I call our 'local' Area Championships.

In previous years we have offered a Best Percussion Prize in each section. However, sue to the lack of complicated percussion in each of the sections this year we decided it was more appropriate to reward the winning bands in each section to a little extra than just the prize money on offer!"

We are delighted to once again be supporting what I call our 'local' Area ChampionshipsMD, Martin Gernon

3 for 2 offer

It will not just be the winners that can gain something extra from the company either as they are returning with their popular '3 for 2' sticks offer.

Martin added: "We always get a great response each time we come to the Winter Gardens — especially as we offer superb quality at great prices — something which local bands know cannot be beaten! Just come along and see for yourselves."

Become a supporter and help make our future secure.
