Thanks to everyone who came out to see us during Cherry Blossom season! Our fifth annual Sakura Taiko Fest was a great success and we’re so glad to see this gathering of east coast taiko players get bigger and better every year.

We’re filled with energy from sakura season and from our fantastic Intro Workshop last week, which is good because we have lots of great stuff coming up this spring and summer.
