Taiko Drumming Performance
Brenna is in a Taiko Drumming Club at her school. They practice two times/week and this was their first performance! Morgan is in the same club, but they practice on different days. Taiko drumming is an Okinawan form of dance and music and it is hugely popular throughout the island. Each little 'township' has their own club, and several times a year they all get together for festivals and parades and perform together and in competition. We attended the Eisa Festival this past August which had over 10,000 Taiko drummers and dancers. It is a really unique experience for these kids to be able to learn a native art and they love it!!!
I'm sorry the video is so short. I will work on trying to download another song that is longer.
