Loading ...A while back I made a post about a hand held drum that I was building. The drum was my contribution for our woodturning clubs entry into the 2009 AAW Symposium Club Collaborative Project.
The theme for this years Collaborative project was “The South West”. Our club chairman came up with the idea of “The Sounds of the South West” and we built and decorated drums, flutes, whistles, rain trees, drum sticks etc.
Here are a couple of pictures of the display. The first set up in our chairman’s dining room and the second being set up at the AAW symposium. An iPod with external speakers was also incorporated into the display and it was playing Native American music. The idea behind the display was that people would be able to interact with it and pick up and use the various musical instruments.

There was participation from a lot of club members and we’re excited to see how we do.

Hi,
Your chapter’s Sounds of the Southwest was a phenomenal entry into the Chapter Collaborative Challenge. It was my pick for the Best of Show – although the Catawba Medley (Indian Vest and Hat) was my sentimental favorite as it was our club’s entry. We decided there were many more attendees from the midwest and west to stuff the ballot box! Again, congratulations on a terrific entry. And I did enjoy playing the drums.

Thanks for your kind words Sharon. The Collaborative was a fun project to work on and it was great to see the level of involvement from club members. I’m glad you enjoyed playing the drums, the idea behind the project was for it to be interactive and for people to play the various instruments.
I heard that the entry from the Dallas club won the Best of Show. My congratulations to them!
I hope you enjoyed the rest of the Symposium. I wish I could have gone, perhaps next year!
