The test
To give an organisation, its consultants and trainers a different type of teamwork experience, which they can apply to their working environment. To give individuals the experience of being part of a successful team because without each other the oband does not sound and work the same.
The goal
To transform the team into a unified, slick and cohesive entity that not only holds a musical beat, but takes that musical beat and delivers the performance of a lifetime, achieving a creative and musical frenzy that will be remembered forever. Participants will be involved in an exciting and engaging activity that gives a clear illustration and experience of successful teamwork.

The tools
Drums and percussion instruments of all types suited to the group size, timings and venue.
The format
We get the area ready setting the instruments out before everyone arrives. Participants are encouraged to start playing and explore the instrument as soon as they sit down - even if they've never held a musical instrument before. The first piece of music is created from these explorations through the facilitator making eye contact and using body language to encourage the whole room to get into the beat!
Communication
The facilitator creates success within the music by aiding non-verbal communication within the group. He or she begins by developing listening from one side of the group to the other. This progresses to several sub groups or instrument types. Competitive sub groups may choose to compete for the limelight as they battle it out with energetic and often hilarious pieces of music '. Finally complex relationships are drawn out. By the end the group is working as one and able to achieve remarkable results.
Leadership
Our leadership style is one that encourages creativity and empowerment amongst the participants. If a participant can take over the leader's role to bring about similar results by the end of the session, then that's even better! This interactive session will bring out the creative best in each individual, and as a complete team.
