The specific purpose of Watsonville Taiko is to study, learn and preserve the art of traditional and modern styles of Taiko drumming, and in conjunction with these:
Study other aspects of Japanese culture that may be relevant to the study of the art of Taiko drumming, including, but not limited to, the study of Japanese folklore, music, dance and history. Educate the public by performing in concerts, by conducting workshops and classes and by developing literature and multimedia to be used by the general public to learn more about taiko and other traditional arts of Japan. The mission of the Watsonville Taiko Group is to foster the evolving cultural expression and traditions of taiko drumming through performances and public education.
