Wadaiko Newark Taiko, who starts the day, is the dojo
chriso and I belong too.
You might see us moving drums or working the table, but we don't perform in public.
Come join the fun, food, and support your friends! Pass the info. The more the merrier!
(*) "Festival" is of course redundant as Matsuri means festival
