The East Coast Taiko Conference, which took place at the University of Connecticut, Storrs Campus from February 21 – 23rd, 2020 concluded and everyone who went had a great time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Special congratulations goes out to Chris who performed Omiyage as a representative of NYTAK with other performers from all around the country! Koh and Columbia Taiko also had a wonderful performance, and Keiko-san performed as a member of Soh Daiko as well. And last but not least, our very own Gen who won the <i>How fast can you say it?</i> contest this year, smashing all former records set at NATC 2019 and making him the WORLD CHAMPION of this challenge. Way to go, Gen!</div>

On October 6th, we held a small tribute gathering to celebrate the life of Takeshi Okuyama, the instrumental instructor of Hachijo-style taiko for his recent untimely passing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For an idea of the profound impact of Okuyama-san’s efforts in building the Hachijo Taiko community, please see his <a href="http://okutaka.net/index.php?%E5%A5%A5%E5%B1%B1%E9%9A%86%E8%BE%B2%E5%9C%92%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6" target="_blank">obituary (in Japanese)</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many thanks to Sarah Gilbert of Soh Daiko for putting together the event, and to Soh Daiko and Koh for lending us Hachijo stands for the occasion. It was a warm and fun evening as we got to learn the Hachijo style in memory of Takashi Okuyama-Sensei, who passed too soon.</div>

Thanks to Koh for putting it all together, and to all who participated in the sessions and also brought delicious food for the reception! We had the chance to learn "Sen no Kaikyo", a moving piece Eitetsu-sensei composed as a tribute after the Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. We hope to be able to perform it one day!</span></span></div>
