With lantern trees created by Mario Rubino for the event, Shasta Taiko and San Jose Taiko, delighted a large gathering at the upper Shastice Park field Sunday evening.

The concert began at twilight, then took on a magical feeling as darkness fell and the stage lighting cast a luminous glow. The first concert held on the field, with Mt. Shasta standing tall behind the audience, drew rave reviews from fans.

Shasta Taiko's eclectic sound included founder Russel Baba's jazzy saxophone, and young taiko stars Michelle Fujii and Shoji Kameda displayed the Japanese drumming talents that have earned them national recognition.
