CSUN Jishin Taiko's Fundraising Updates from the 2013-14 School Year (So Far)!

Tuesday, February 18, 2014
So far this school year, we've held a few fundraisers in hopes of reaching our financial goals that will help us host the Intercollegiate Taiko Conference this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend right here at CSUN! For instance, we've sold many CDs back in November 2013 as well as a whole sleuth of tacos back in October 2013. In addition, we're asking local businesses all over the Northridge area to help support and sponsor us by contributing/giving us their various financial amounts that will help us reach our financial goals and make hosting the ITC at CSUN become a reality. Even though we're making progress, we appreciate all of your contributions. And with that, we say thank you! We greatly appreciated it!

Spring 2014 Semester New Member Orientation-UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

On Friday, February 7, 2014, it was our New Member Orientation for the Spring 2014 Semester! It happened at Cypress Hall, home of the CSUN Music Department, in Room 145 from 7:00-9:00 PM. That event was absolutely FREE! Free refreshments, free performances, free workshop, FREE EVERYTHING!!!!! And just like last semester's New Member Orientation that we hosted, we've seen a small group of fresh faces who are willing to learn about the background history of this awesome group and taiko in general as well as learning how to play the taiko for the very first time! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the Spring 2014 New Member Orientation that happened on that day! We hope that you had so much fun hanging out with the members as well as seeing some performances and hitting the taiko for the first time! It was a great turnout to the event and we gladly appreciated it!
