Thank you for participating in and supporting TCP activities throughout the year. From classes and New Year’s performances to the Honolulu Festival, Cherry Blossom Festival, Kenny Endo 50th Anniversary Celebration, TCP’s 31st anniversary, Summer Taiko Intensives, Bonenkai and more – we are deeply grateful for your continued support.
We hope you have experienced the joy, peace, excitement, inspiration, and sense of community that taiko offers. May you and your loved ones enjoy a joyful holiday season, and a new year filled with happiness, good health, and peace.

TCP Classes will resume January 12th, 2026. Registration will become available around December 27th…until then, may you enjoy the Spirit of the Season.

What a year it has been! One NOT to forget…but let’s come together for TCP’s 32nd Annual
Bonenkai (“forget-the-year party”). If you didn’t order your bento, please email taikoarts@gmail.com ASAP.
SEE YOU THERE!
