Testimonials
The performers were fantastic and kept the students extremely engaged - which is not an easy task. They shared about the culture and were very entertaining.
HSA Member, Alexander Hamilton School
I just wanted to say how much Liberty Corner enjoyed "Taikoza" today. They had such a wonderful balance of spectacular playing as well as presentation of the information and interactive things for the kids to do. You know it's good when the adults loved it too! They were professional and kept everyone engaged the entire time.
