am - Eden Aoba Taiko
Drummers. Japanese-inspired
drumming.
Eden Aoba Taiko was formed in 1997 to promote
the Japanese music art of Taiko drumming to community members
in the area under the direction of Masa. The group started
with 6 people and members increased to 50 by the end of '97.
Members' ages range from 6 years old to 70 and up. It is our
philosophy that Taiko is for everyone, no matter how old you
are. Our Taiko is folk music. The main purpose is to have fun
drumming and enhance self-_expression_, self-esteem, and
self-confidence. It is also our goal to enrich disciplines
such as respect, harmony, and unity through drumming with
others.
Learning taiko takes a time. There is no short
cuts or simply ways. It is like a life; up and down, bents and
straights. It requires a patience.
Taiko is a mental
training with physical strength. As long as you practice, you
will get better and then comes fun.
Our equipments
(Taikos, big and small and accessories) are made by ourselves.
So far we have made 20 taikos including small taikos. Our
largest taiko is 32" diameter made out of a 80 gallon wine
barrel. Also, we have purchased 4 shime taikos, 5 Okedo
taikos, 3 Uchiwa taikos, 2 Atariganes, and 1 Chappa from
Japan. www.concentric.net/~masaf/Taiko
12:00 noon - Blair
Hansen and Band.

Trained in classical voice
since the age of 10, Blair Hansen is emerging as an
independent artist and songwriter. Her ability to blend
classical and folk roots with pop sensibilities at the
age of 18, has given Blair a sound that is unmistakebly
her own. While she herself would say that her music
lands "somewhere between the Dixie Chicks and Sarah
McLachlan," the depth and soul coming from her voice
hints at much more. www.blairhansen.com |

Tris Coffin
?51? began as seven high school musicians and one
middle school musician who liked Jazz and wanted to experiment
on their own. In 1999, seniors Joshua Blunt, Danny Strange,
and Andre Laines; juniors Richard Conway, Tris Coffin and
Stephen Poon; sophomore Ben Draper; and eighth grader Joe
Newton, met twice a week in a Castro Valley garage to play
music together. Their talents and interests were soon noticed
within the Castro Valley High School music department and they
were invited to play at functions around the district. Since
then they have been regular headliners at the Castro Valley
Fall Festival each September and at the NAACP Awards Dinner in
the Spring. They were also finalists in the 2000 where-I-live
Battle of the Bands. www.51jazz.com

Festival
HISTORY:
Project Earth 2005 is a unique and important
first time collaboration between Palomares Elementary
School (Castro Valley Unified School District) and
Castro Valley Sanitary District.
This
is a shared vision and continuation of both the communities?
commitment to environmental conservation, restoration,
management, and awareness.
It is also an opportunity
to show our youth and the community how to take care of our
Earth, so it will continue to take care of us.
The Castro Valley Sanitary District Earth Day
event began as a compost giveaway in 1998, and has widened to
include a
Festival, Community Clean Up, and 5K Fun
Run/Walk.
The Palomares Creek Watershed Festival began in
2000 as a combined effort of the Alameda County Resource
Conservation District, Alameda County Clean Water Program,
USDA-Natural Resources Conservation District, and Palomares
School.
The goal is to promote environmental
educational programs, demonstrate bioengineering techniques
(defined as: environmental friendly stream restoration
practices using natural materials including wood and vegetated
plantings in place of other hard structural
methods like
concrete) for creek restoration in the Palomares Creek, and
educate people about how to take care of their local
watersheds.
A watershed is an area of
land that water flows over or through on its way to a creek,
river, lake, bay, or ocean. Animals, plants, and people all
share watersheds and the actions of one effects us all.
