Last month, Ms. O'Hara brought her Grade 3/4 class from Gibsons Elementary for a week of Museum School. On Friday, we had special guest Joyce Chong come in for a visit to talk about her expertise as a Taiko drummer. What a treat! There was a demonstration with Joyce and players from Tonbo Taiko and then the class got to practice and learn some lines from the piece called 'Matsuri'. It was the perfect way to end the week of Museum School with a bang - literally!
Check out the video - Joyce, Jojo, Carol and Kimiko play a version of Matsuri. Those drums sure look good next to the Squamish canoe.
Thanks go out to Joyce for taking the time to share her knowledge with us, to Jojo and Carol for joining us for the demonstration, and to Dan for transporting the drums (and the players) to the museum. I hope we can do this again some time!
