Rugby World Cup 2011: Japan drums up support
“Support for Japan has “blossomed” in Napier, with a Taiko drumming performance offering locals a sneak peak at tonight’s Rugby World Cup pre-match entertainment.”
This drumming group performed at the girls’ school yesterday. They were amazing. I can’t wait to see them perform again at the match tonight!
