Rainbow Tube Orchestra
Turn any conference room into a colourful, high-energy orchestra.
About
Rainbow Tube Orchestra is a unique conference energiser that brings people together by making uplifting music as a group. In minutes, any meeting room becomes a vibrant orchestra, full of fast rhythms, cheering and fresh energy.
Everyone is given a set of tuned percussion tubes: lightweight, hollow plastic tubes in bright colours, each tuned to a different note by its length.
Following a high-tech visual interface on a big screen, participants work together to play a lively piece of music. Colour-coded blocks move across the screen, and players time their hits so each note sounds as its block reaches the line.
As the session goes on, the tempo and complexity increase. The blocks move faster, and teams have to react more quickly to keep the rhythm building to a big finish. It is a cost-effective way to lift the mood and refocus a room before the next session.
Learning outcomes
Rainbow Tube Orchestra has a proven track record of firing up conferences and creating a feeling of excitement and unity across a group. It only works when every person takes part and plays their note at the right time.
Because the music builds from many individual contributions, participants see straight away how each person's timing affects the whole. A wrong note is quickly forgiven, and the room learns to listen and adjust together.
The rising tempo adds a playful challenge, encouraging focus, quick reactions and a real sense of shared achievement when the piece finally comes together.
Above all, it is a simple, joyful way for colleagues to relax, laugh and connect, and to start the next part of the event in a positive, open frame of mind.
