Boomwhackers

Boomwhackers are coloured plastic tubes that are struck on the hand (or any other part of the body!) and play musical notes. When each colour is given a different rhythm to play a tuneful boomwhacker orchestra is created.

In recent years boomwhackers have become one of Mark Walker's most popular activities for use in conferences. Their relatively small, lightweight construction are ideal for the purpose, and Mark has developed many varied ways of using them. They are easy to distribute amongst a large audience in a very short space of time, and are particularly good for events abroad as they can be taken as luggage and don't need to be freighted separately. Mark has used them at many overseas conferences including events in Dubai, Rome, Antwerp, Barcelona, Lisbon and Dublin.

Subject to availability and enough notice, boomwhackers can be bought and taken away as a gift/memento of the conference. Boomwhackers can also be used in conjunction with other types of energiser.

Boomwhackers are relatively unknown, and some clients wonder about whether they will work with their delegates. Here are a few choice quotes from clients who took the leap of faith and used them!

"The feedback from so many colleagues has been fantastic, the best conference ever, and the Boomwhackers were the best part! … thank you once again for building such great energy and team spirit in what was a very quick 30 minute section."
Nicole Nixon, Marketing Communications Manager, Cattles Invoice Finance

"The concept of the Future Today worked well and the boomwhackers were certainly a hit!"
Jason Sullivan, Canon UK 

"Thank you for helping to make today so fantastic for Bank of America. They went away with great big smiles and lots of positive feedback. The energy and enthusiasm you created with the boomwhackers was brilliant, as well as the linking back to the real world which worked really well."
Lyn Bayley, Success factory, organiser of MBNA team day

"Just wanted to send you an email to say thank you for the fantastic boomwhacker session yesterday! I must admit that after such a heavy night before, I had my doubts whether this session would be a success. But Mark was absolutely amazing, and the sales force were buzzing - I have had fantastic feedback (not just from the reps, but from the sales managers and our CEO as well) and will highly recommend Mark and his team in the future."
Product manager, Servier
