UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' PERFORMANCE AT KARATE TOURNAMENT
Yesterday afternoon, I watched a performance of the taiko students from the University of Kyoto of Art & Design at the Kyoto-shi Budo Center (Kyoto Martial Arts Center). The performance actually took place at a karate tournament; although, there were other musical acts as well, including a marching band and a choir. Twenty-three of the taiko students from the university played: because I have had the privilege of watching their practices, it was really neat to see everything come together. They definitely did a great job and I really enjoyed the show; but, due to the fact that the performance was in a large gymnasium, the sound quality was pretty mediocre (not their fault though!). The thousand-plus person crowd really was into the show. Below are some videos from the show, although as I mentioned, the sound might not be too sharp I love the airborne guy!
I graduated from Hamilton College in 2007, with degrees in Religious Studies and Hispanic Studies. I have been awarded the Bristol Fellowship, a year-long grant.
As a passionate drummer, I would like to explore the art of the drum, with a global perspective: to establish the spiritual process that a craftsman undergoes while building a drum, and to define the intricate spiritual relationship that the drummer has with his drum. The itinerary includes Fiji, Japan, India, Morocco, and the Caribbean.
