About
Kyodo Taiko is the nation's first collegiate taiko drumming team. Founded in 1990, we work to promote the art of Japanese-American taiko drumming within the UCLA and surrounding communities, and instill within the community a sense of respect and understanding of the Japanese American culture. We perform as a team at many events around the UCLA campus and greater Southern California area. We also perform at UCLA NSU's annual Culture Nights and host annual Spring Concerts on the UCLA campus. Kyodo has two meanings, one is "family", and the other is "loud children". Come see us perform, and you will understand why!

How to join
Performing groups usually audition early in fall, sometimes again in winter. Many also run open classes or socials anyone can attend.
This is the typical process for this kind of club. Their Instagram or email will have the specifics.
