Druminar

Druminar is a new twist on the concept of team-building and leadership development using drum circles.  BPO Principal Percussionist Mark Hodges employs an interactive, hands-on approach to help participants gain personal insights and group connections, leading to personal and organizational growth. 

Regardless of the size, age, or composition of your group, drum circles channel the power of music and percussion to bring people from large corporations, small businesses, or students of any age together as a team.  No prior musical experience is required to participate!  For more information, click on the link above.
