10th Anniversary Concert

It's hard to believe that just a little over a week ago, we all pulled together for the Makoto Taiko 10th Anniversary Concert!

Set changes and production went smoothly and we heard lots of positive feedback. The sound guy for the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse (Jason) said we were "slammin".

Once the pictures start coming in, I'll post them as a slideshow.
