Staines Band recently took to the stage at the beautiful setting of Sunbury Walled Gardens, not only to showcase their musical excellence, but to also sport their new brand new 'look' of soft-shell jackets and ties from Musicwearetc.co.uk

The organisation is made up of two separate bands: the contesting Staines Brass and its community ensemble Staines Lammas Band and have been a readily identifiable musical presence in their local community for many years.

Up to date look

In keeping with their up to date profile they chose Musicwear etc with the leading providers of leisure wear, band uniforms, stand banners and much more, delighted to work with them to meet their needs.

A band spokesperson said: "With a complete set of soft-shell jackets and ties designed and purchased for both bands, this has been a significant investment for the organisation, but one which will undoubtedly reap rewards."

They added: "Musicwearetc provided an outstanding level of service throughout the process, in addition to the fantastic final products. The organisation is looking forward to showcasing their new uniform in numerous exciting upcoming events, including a tour to Wales, the Wychavon contest, and the local Challenging Brass event."
