Think potluck with a twist—everyone brought a little something to the table, creating a night filled with food, laughs, and unforgettable chats. Stepping beyond the routine, it was an evening that celebrated the powerhouse that is the taiko community.

Whether it’s the fashion flair, celestial moments, soulful sessions, or drumbeat dinners, these community memories have captured the heart of my time at Oberlin like nothing else. Get ready for more sensational experiences!
