2011 Intercollegiate Taiko Invitational – A Grand Success
Thanks to the hard work of UCLA’s Kyodo Taiko and Yukai Daiko, the 2011 Intercollegiate Taiko Invitation was fantastic! The busy weekend was filled with workshops, good food (thank you to the caterers for the vegan treats!), and performances by the college groups. I taught matsuri slant drum choreography and we had a great time. I gave them three options of new moves and all three groups chose the hardest option, “Cronkite”. Perhaps we’ll see the rhythm sneak its way into next year’s performance. Thank you everyone!
