11:00 am - Eden Aoba Taiko Drummers. Japanese-inspired drumming.

Eden Aoba Taiko was formed in 1997 to promote the Japanese music art of Taiko drumming to community members in the area under the direction of Masa. The group started with 6 people and members increased to 50 by the end of '97. Members' ages range from 6 years old to 70 and up. It is our philosophy that Taiko is for everyone, no matter how old you are. Our Taiko is folk music. The main purpose is to have fun drumming and enhance self-expression, self-esteem, and self-confidence. It is also our goal to enrich disciplines such as respect, harmony, and unity through drumming with others.

Learning taiko takes a time. There is no short cuts or simply ways. It is like a life; up and down, bents and straights. It requires a patience.
Taiko is a mental training with physical strength. As long as you practice, you will get better and then comes fun.

Our equipments (Taikos, big and small and accessories) are made by ourselves. So far we have made 20 taikos including small taikos. Our largest taiko is 32" diameter made out of a 80 gallon wine barrel. Also, we have purchased 4 shime taikos, 5 Okedo taikos, 3 Uchiwa taikos, 2 Atariganes, and 1 Chappa from Japan. www.concentric.net/~masaf/Taiko

Tris Coffin

“51” began as seven high school musicians and one middle school musician who liked Jazz and wanted to experiment on their own. In 1999, seniors Joshua Blunt, Danny Strange, and Andre Laines; juniors Richard Conway, Tris Coffin and Stephen Poon; sophomore Ben Draper; and eighth grader Joe Newton, met twice a week in a Castro Valley garage to play music together. Their talents and interests were soon noticed within the Castro Valley High School music department and they were invited to play at functions around the district. Since then they have been regular headliners at the Castro Valley Fall Festival each September and at the NAACP Awards Dinner in the Spring. They were also finalists in the 2000 Hayward Battle of the Bands. www.51jazz.com
