Beating the Drums for Super Bowl XL

Since ancient times, drumming has been a part of ritual healing, used in social ceremonies and simply to relieve stress.

Today, advocates say therapeutic rhythm techniques can help treat medical conditions and facilitate an individual's recovery of motor skills. Anecdotal evidence also points to benefits such as lowering stress levels, boosting the immune system and allowing for emotional expression.

Here in the Detroit Metro Area, Super Bowl XL is staged to reduce stress by providing an enjoyable experience for those watching the athletic and musical performers on the field. By the numbers, there are 70,000 seats in Ford Field, 120,000 visitors in town and 145 million in the US watching the game on TV. For this game alone, it is estimated that Ann Arbor-based Domino's Pizza sells 1.5 million pizzas and people buy 1.7 million new television sets. To make the Super Bowl XL happen is taking a huge amount of leadership and execution on the part of 8,000 volunteers led by Super Bowl XL Host Committee Chairman Roger Penske.
