Daion Taiko

doamid's picture

Having started in 1978, we are one of the oldest taiko groups in the US. We are a Japanese-American, Buddhist Taiko group based at the Orange County Buddhist Church in Anaheim, CA. Our member's ages range from 10 years old to adults and we are very much a family oriented group. We also happen to be one of the largest groups around.

We have a great time sharing taiko all around SoCal and regularly perform at the Aquarium of the Pacific, the LA Cherry Blossom Festival, Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, and the OC Race for the Cure.

It’s sooner than you think, so making it to every practice is even more important right now. Performance-wise, things have been really quiet for us this year. The combination of the poor economy...

With the new year comes a fresh set of goals and challenges for the group. One such goal is our 8-week Beginner Workshop. It has just wrapped up, and all of our new taiko players have done a great job. They actually get to hit the drum now. We look forward to showing them off at Hanamatsuri. This performance season has been a little bit slower for...

We had a great time performing for the people and fish at the Aquarium of the Pacific's Autumn Festival. It‟s been over 10 years that we‟ve performed there and it's still a big favorite of ours. Big fish and big drums are always a great combination. Believe it or not, Beginners, you're halfway through your initiation and you're doing a great job!...
