Here are some reviews/comments that we have received:
"I just wanted to let you know that a few of us attended the concert last Saturday and we brought our friends, families and co-workers. What a fantastic concert! Everyone we talked to really enjoyed it (and so did we!). Congratulations, and we look forward to hearing about future concerts and workshops (several people have asked about these)."
"(we) truly enjoyed the exciting concert. The new mix and inclusion of recorder, voice and the colourful and different choreography made it a very lovely experience. It was evident that the performers and yourself spent a great deal of time to have it come together so beautifully. I also understand the great amount of work this involved you in and a well-deserved rest is now in order. I must also congratulate you for all the successful publicity you were able to get in the local and Ottawa newspapers, TV and Radio. There is probably another career choice waiting for you in the promotion and advertising of concerts. It was very professionally done and the momentum built up at the right time."
"Congratulations on a fantastic concert! We really enjoyed it and could see how much work you put into it. It's nice to see some new arrangements, and so many performers on the stage!"
"Thank you so much for a great show! I loved the show you guys played today, lots of improvement are being done, transitions are going very smooth, nice interactions with the audience. You're are AWESOME!!!"
"Congratulations for performing a show biz par excellence! It was indeed a show biz for it was not only a rhythmic and dynamic drumming but it also contained elements of lion dancing, singing, flute playing, monkeys at play and so on to keep the audience in stitches. It was very interesting to note the taiko group is multi-racial and of different ages, which is significant in the fact our community is small in numbers."
"Congratulations to Oto-Wa and Dagaku members on presenting a wonderful concert! I especially enjoyed Jusanya which was beautifully done. You got a standing ovation. I'm sure you're greatly relieved now that it's done. Great job!"
"We had a great time at the concert, you have a lot to be proud of. It was the first time I had seen the Dagaku group and I was really impressed."
