Rainbow Tube Orchestra
Colour, rhythm and one shared tune to re-energise any conference.
About
Rainbow Tube Orchestra is a short, joyful energiser that transforms a conference hall into an orchestra. Within minutes, a quiet, seated audience becomes a laughing, cheering ensemble.
Every delegate receives a set of tuned percussion tubes. These lightweight, hollow plastic tubes come in bright colours, and each plays a different note according to its length.
A visual interface on the big screen displays the music as colour-coded blocks moving across the display. Delegates time their strikes so that each note sounds as its block reaches the line, and together the room plays a lively piece of music.
Then the pace quickens. The blocks move faster, the patterns grow more complex and everyone must react more quickly to keep the music building towards a rousing finish. It is a cost-effective way to refresh the room before your next session.
Learning outcomes
Rainbow Tube Orchestra has a proven record of lifting the atmosphere at conferences and creating an immediate sense of unity. The music only comes together when every delegate plays their note at the right moment.
Because the tune is built from hundreds of individual contributions, people see straight away how their timing affects everyone else. A missed note raises a smile, and the room learns to listen and adjust together.
As the tempo rises, the activity becomes a playful test of focus and reaction time, and the satisfaction when the full piece finally falls into place is shared by everyone.
Above all, it is a simple, cheerful way for colleagues to relax and connect, ensuring the rest of your agenda begins with open, positive energy and a memorable moment people will mention afterwards.
