Music stand banners are an important part of a band’s appearance, helping create a smart, consistent look at concerts, competitions and other performances.
Whether you’re ordering a complete new set for a brass band, updating banners for a school or college ensemble, or simply replacing one that’s been damaged or lost, there are a few things worth considering before placing your order.
At AB Print Group, we produce custom embroidered music stand banners in the UK, with no minimum order. That means you can order a single replacement banner, add to an existing set or commission a completely new set.
Here’s what to consider when choosing music stand banners for your band or ensemble.
Embroidery gives music stand banners a traditional, professional finish that works particularly well for brass bands, orchestras, schools, colleges and ceremonial bands.
Unlike temporary printed materials, embroidered banners are made as textile products designed to be handled, transported, stored and used repeatedly.
Your band’s logo, crest or emblem can be reproduced in embroidery, with the fabric, braid and fringe selected to complement your existing colours.
A well-designed set of banners helps create a consistent appearance across the whole band, particularly important when you’re performing on stage, competing or appearing at public events.
Not every music stand is the same.
Different stands can have different widths, depths and desk shapes, so it’s important that your banners are designed with the stands they’ll actually be used on in mind.
When requesting a quotation, it’s helpful to provide:
AB Print Group can produce banners to suit a wide range of music stand styles, helping ensure the finished design sits correctly when the band is performing.
Colour is an important part of any band’s identity, particularly where banners need to complement uniforms, jackets or an established colour scheme.
Music stand banners can be produced using a choice of fabric colours, together with coordinating or contrasting braid and fringe.
When briefing your banners, consider:
If you’re adding to an existing set, send us photographs or, where possible, an existing banner to work from. This gives us the best opportunity to make your new banners sit comfortably alongside the originals.
There is no minimum order for AB Print Group music stand banners.
This is particularly useful when you don’t need a complete new set.
You might need:
You can, of course, order a complete matching set at the same time.
Our continuity of supply also means that if you need additional banners in the future, we can produce further banners to complement your original order.
Our embroidered music stand banners are used by a wide range of musical organisations, including:
The same principles apply whether you’re looking for a single replacement or a full set: the banners need to fit your stands, reproduce your identity clearly and look consistent across the ensemble.
AB Print Group also produces hand and machine embroidered presentation banners and pennants, so if you require other embroidered banners alongside your music stand banners, these can be discussed as part of the same project.
One example of our work is a set of 50 embroidered music stand banners produced for Ravnanger Brass Band in Norway.
The project was completed through Tor Banners, part of AB Print Group, continuing a tradition of specialist music stand banner production stretching back more than 40 years.
You can read the Ravnanger Brass Band music stand banner case study to see the finished banners and find out more about the project.
