Taiko Telethon Express

Fifteen of us performed “Mahora” for our Woburn neighbors at the First Live Telethon of the Council of Social Concerns.  It’s a wonder how we, in the span of two hours, could load out the equipment, drive to the venue, quietly load in, get dressed, wait, snack, warm-up (or not), stage drums, perform, load out, return to the dojo, pack the drums back into the closet, process and chuckle over the unique qualities of this gig, and have a closing circle.  It is because we were right down the street at the beautiful Woburn Memorial High School auditorium!  Hopefully, we can perform there again. And hopefully, watching our passionate drumming on TV encouraged the community to call in lots of pledges.  It sure was some fast fun for us! 🙂
