Lions and Drumming

The Farmer's Day parade was a rousing success. We had a good amount of people out to help construct the float and there was a good turn out to represent the kwoon during the festivities. The float looked good, so good the judges deemed it the best commercial float of the parade! Great job people!

I have been missing being part of the lion dances. It is one of my favorite activities to partake in with the team. The parade gave me ample chance to get some real lion time in. It may not have been a dance, but it was still a great opportunity to practice my skills. I have been looking at expanding my skill set with different parts of the dance, lately I have been practicing the drumming patterns. I seem to be catching on fairly quickly, but there is still much to learn, kind of like learning kung fu. It is interesting learning what it is like on the other side of the production. I hope with time and practice I will get a chance to drum a dance.
