HOW WE DO IT
To make this concert happen, we put the word "community" to the test. It's a crazy amount of preparation, but here's how WE do it:
​
-
Approx. 16 community-based songs are selected to use for the concert.
-
Music, video, mp3's and any other resources we can collect are grouped together on our google drive.
-
YOU look & listen to the songs and decide which ones you want to play. Then let us know, and start practicing :)
-
On Saturday at Taikpalooza we will spend the morning running the show together. In the afternoon we load up drums and get ourselves to the park.
-
We set up/sound check, chill, have a beer, eat a schnitzel, and enjoy some beautiful scenery with some great food and wonderful people.
-
Around 7PM we put on an amazing free concert for a very curious and excited audience.
Concert in the Park
The absolute highlight of Taikopalooza is our public concert.
​
We all play for each other at various taiko events, we attend taiko concerts from other groups, but how often do we get to put on a concert WITH our taiko friends, and play for a ton of people who have never heard of seen taiko?
​
The result is really something special that can't be described. It's excitement, happiness, and sharing, fun - and we make it happen TOGETHER!
Venue
Each year, we try to make things a little better. But as far as concert venues go, it just doesn't get better than Glacis Park.
​
Glacis Park is home to an old military fortress, complete with its own moat! Our stage sits over the water with amphitheater seating directly across from us.
​
The stage is located next to the best biergarten in the area, which is where a large portion of our audience comes from.
