Last night I auditioned for the St. Louis taiko performing group. I've been in the community-level group for a year, and was ready to give the try-outs a second try (I auditioned back in April, but wasn't ready yet). It was an intense audition - me, by myself, in front of a panel of 6 judges. Had to play 3 songs by myself, know a bunch of drum terminology, song title authors & translations, and they tested how quickly I can learn a drum pattern just by hearing it spoken.

Well....

I MADE IT!!! :cheeringdog:

I still have lots to work on, but the director & judges decided that I would do better learning & improving my skills in the performance group rather than the community-level group. And now I will have lots of chances to perform on stage with the group - so looking forward to it!!!

I haven't stopped smiling since I got the acceptance email around midnight.

Congrats, Tiza! That's amazing. What a difference 6 months makes!!! I remember when this was all a dream. Way to risk and stretch outside of your comfort zone. You rock!

YAY! Tiza, you go girl! I really never had any doubt that you wouldn't make it - you obviously enjoy it very much and have become an accomplished Taiko "playing" (is that the right word?).

Big congratulations and I look forward to seeing even more videos as you accomplish more and more. I can say I "knew you before" you became famous!
