The spirited and intense drum groups from Chiba Prefecture were Hane Daiko, "Jumping Drum" from Choshi City, and Hisho Skibuki Daiko, "Soaring Shibuki Drums" from Kisazaru City. The groups played their lively, intense form of Japanese drumming prior to the start of the show and also at the end as the audience waited for the fireworks. The Hanagasa Ondo women's dance group performed their special "Flower Straw Hat" folk dance the way it is done at Japanese festivals, wearing brightly colored kimonos and performing with flower straw hats. While in Wisconsin, the 45-member group stayed at Concordia University. |
