In the audience were three that would create Sonoma County Taiko. The following spring they contacted Tiffany Tamaribuchi of Sacramento Taiko Dan to arrange for a workshop at Enmanji Buddhist Temple. Sacramento Taiko Dan brought taiko and taught a wonderful workshop to 30 participants. The attendees of the workshop were contacted a couple of months after and asked if they would like to continue to learn and play taiko. There were a dozen that did. With the support of the Japanese American Citizens League, Sonoma County Chapter and Enmanji Buddhist Temple the group was started. Over the next months the group practiced patterns taught by Taiko Dan and gleaned from video tapes on used tires tied to folding chairs. Community SupportWith support from Enmanji Temple and the Japanese American Citizens League Sonoma County Chapter (JACL) the group of people that came together to learn taiko was able to grow. Our practice space was the community hall at Enmanji we were granted startup funds by the JACL with which we were able to build our first several wine barrel taiko. With these funds the group was able to build their first taiko. Continuing DevelopmentTiffany Tamaribuchi, being our friend and our first teacher suggested that a few of us gain more experience by training with Sacramento Taiko Dan or Grand Master Seiichi Tanaka and San Francisco Taiko Dojo. The first members to go to SFTD for training were Bruce and Arnold Shimizu, Mark Tabata and Rocky Mitarai. They would make the trip to South San Francisco each week to learn new skills and repertoire as well as the etiquette and culture of Taiko Dojo. From this training the culture of SCT was being developed. Growing & EvolvingAs time goes on the organization needs to reflect and respond to the changes that it confronts. Sonoma County Taiko is continually looking to create and bolster the the ways to be the most effective at delivering its mission. In 1997 the fledgling group produced their first Taiko Camp and festival. With the communitys support and guidance and support from Tanaka Sensei, Tiffany Tamaribuchi and the tireless effort of the members this first camp began an event that Sonoma County Taiko is remembered fondly for. The challenges encountered and surmounted through these events helped forge SCTs identity and reputation. In 2005 SCT celebrated its tenth anniversary. To mark this milestone a full concert was produced featuring all of the members of Sonoma County Taiko. This was the first time the group were the sole performers at a full concert. Preparation took most of a year and produced an awe inspiring performance. In 2010 Sonoma County Taiko produced Tomodachi their fifteenth anniversary concert. To help the celebrate SCT drew together their friends for a concert that displayed an amazing range of talent and artistry. Included in the show were Taiko Ren, Ensohza Minyoushu, and Tenten taiko. Into the FutureThe future of Sonoma County Taiko depends on the passion with which our members pursue each of their own pathway in taiko. With that love for the various aspects of this art-form we gather a community that reflects the best and fullest natures within us all. 34627 34627 Alexa Riner Treasurer 6.00 0 Ann Frowick Secretary 12.00 0 Nicole Litzie President 12.00 0 Arnold Shimizu Director 12.00 0 Deanne DiPietro Director 3.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Alexa Riner 3325 Regional Parkway Suite 11 Santa Rosa CA 95403 7075750723 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 28199 30927 38232 40035 53758 191151 0 0 0 0 28199 30927 38232 40035 53758 191151 0 0 191151 0 0 0 0 28199 30927 38232 40035 53758 191151 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $249 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $127 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $2910 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $2760 Other Expenses.1 Other expenses $6369 Other Expenses.2 busineses expenses $25 Other Assets.1003 Machinery and Equipment - Beginning $13011 Machinery and Equipment - Ending $13011 Other Assets.1011 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Beginning $1485 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Ending $220 Total Liabilities.1 OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES - Beginning $1790 OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES - Ending $1790
