Happy New Year!
Its been a while since we updated our blog. New Year's resolution: update more often!
2011 is full of exciting projects and events for Makoto Taiko. Among our big projects for the year are 1) making new uniforms and 2) producing a taiko educational DVD. Both projects are already under progress and we're really excited to see the final product!
We are ordering custom happi for our new uniforms from happi.jp, a Japanese company based in Aichi Prefecture. The taiko educational DVD is a supplementary resource to our taiko classes for people who are interested in practicing outside of the dojo. Performances of Makoto Taiko's standard repertoire and general information about Makoto Taiko will be included in this DVD and we hope to have it available this year for anyone who is interested in purchasing it. Stay tuned for updates on these projects!
As for performances, we've been pretty busy since the beginning of this month. On January 2nd, we performed at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in Little Tokyo for the annual Kotohajime.
For our next performance this coming weekend, we are going......to Kauai!!! If you're going to be on the island, check us out at the 7th Annual Kaua'i Wellness Expo 2011!
Even as 2011 has just begun, we are already looking ahead to big performance opportunities in the fall. We applied to be part of the World Festival of Sacred Music which will be held in Los Angeles this October. Hopefully we will be selected to perform at this wonderful event--keep your fingers crossed!
As always, you can keep up with our performances on the Events page of our website www.makototaiko.org.
Looking forward to sharing more exciting news with you this year!
Peace & Prosperity,
Makoto Taiko
