A little mid-summer picture book
This was 1 of 3 vehicles needed to load in for the Green Valley concert. And did we mention it took 2 trips? |
Kristin, backstage, makes sure we didn't forget any of the little noisemakers, or narimono... |
While Sarah and Rome, at the loading dock, check in the large noisemakers. |
Rebecca, delivers with her usual flair.
|
Charlene and Kate review their set lists.
|
And then the lighting and sound check.

We're hoping someone else got some photos of us actually performing!
We've been asked to offer additional 4-week Adult Recreational Taiko (ART) classes before the fall 8-week unit. The next one begins Saturday, Sept 11. The class runs 2:30–4:30pm. Email Rome if you are interested in enrolling. The cost is $75, but in cases of hardship, we've been known to work with students to make sure they can play. Our "it should sting but not hurt" policy means money is not a good enough reason to keep anyone who wants to from studying taiko.
The 3:00pm Drop-in session is on hold till Friday, Aug 20. After that, drop-ins continue through the fall. For more information, email or call karen@tucsontaiko.org, (520) 481-8003.
For information on Taiko 'tweens , email Nicole.
