Hey everyone!
Jishin Taiko's New Member Orientation will be coming up soon on September 11th and September 14th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm! Come out and enjoy a fun evening meeting the group and getting a chance to play the drums in a taiko workshop!

Jishin Taiko has come home to Northridge from Stanford after a fun, exciting weekend at ITC! We were able to bring back new techniques, ideas, and inspiration from the classes, build and strengthen our connections with others in the taiko community, and have a great time watching and performing taiko. Thank you, Stanford Taiko, for having us, and to everyone who attended, we hope to see you again next year!
