This Saturday was a busy one for Soh Daiko, with a performance in Queens in the morning, and another in Southport, CT in the afternoon. In the morning, a few of us (with the help of some old members!) traveled to Flushing Meadows Corona Park and performed at the Sakura Matsuri celebration, organized by the Japanese American Association of New York.

Afterwards, the group drove up to beautiful Southport, CT to play as part of Music For Youth‘s Young Persons’ Concert series. Over 100 children (and many adults too!) came out to watch us play. As part of the concert, we had a workshop in which many of the kids got to give taiko drumming a try for themselves!

Thanks to all those who came out to see us at both performances!
