This year Makoto Taiko is creating TWO songs that will feature all the volunteers who help behind the scenes to support Makoto Taiko’s operations.
The first is a traditional piece in which members will work directly with Eien on. It is called Edo Bayashi and has a unique, traditional feel.
The second piece will be an encore piece at the concert led by Carole, Marchele, Elaine, and Jen. Practice will be every Saturday, 2-3:20pm. If you are interested and are looking for a way to volunteer and be part of these projects, please email us and check out the job signup sheet in the studio.
2017 RISE Concert T-shirts
The above T-shirts were designed by one of our talented members, Carole Kim. She will hang sample T's at the studio for sizing purposes. We are using a new brand for the men's T so make sure to confirm your shirt size with these samples. Larger sizes are available though there will be no sample at the studio for them: women's 2X and men's 3X.
Orders for this year's Makoto Taiko T-shirt must be placed by April 11th at: www.ra-di-ant.com.
We expect all Makoto Taiko members to volunteer in some capacity. If you have friends & family who would like to volunteer and/or have special talents (videography, photography, carpentry, etc), please encourage them to volunteer as well.
