Why:  Taiko is a drumming ensemble that teaches musical traditions from Japanese American heritage. We play drums of many sizes in different standing and sitting positions. Taiko combines powerful rhythms and choreography to create a performance that is just as fun to watch as it is to hear. We will perform our music alongside other ensembles in two performances. Taiko is a year-long ensemble.
