Tokara fundraising to create DVD:
Wadaiko Tokara finally has a chance to create a DVD!! After eight years, in celebration of Tokara's eighth birthday on March 7th, we have recently been presented with an opportunity to create a performance DVD as well as an instructional DVD. We are working hard to raise funding for making this a reality, and we are asking for pledges to this project:

We only have 30 days to raise these funds, and if we don't make the goal, then we don't get even a cent. So, we are working really hard to make the goal. Thank you to those who have pledged and/or shared this information with anyone and everyone you possibly can. If at least 400 people pledge only $25 each, we can reach our goal. There are some great rewards as well for anyone who pledges any amount. Please take a look at our project page at:
