Happy 2009! I guess this is a bit late but... we got newbies! Yay! Congrats to the 7 that have now entered our ranks!

Winter quarter is here and that means we'll soon be having our annual retreat! Can't wait! And we're also going to have a couple performances lined up for this quarter along with getting ready for CONCERT which is on Saturday, April 18th! Details to come later once we get everything squared away but keep that date open on your calendars!

Fall 2008 Happenings

Fall quarter is off to a running start and it's that time again: Tryouts! We'll be holding our first tryouts on Sunday, October 5th at the top of Gilman Parking Structure.

Also this week we are having our very first boba run on Saturday, October 4th. We'll be meeting at Peterson at 8PM.

Hope to see you there!

NSU Culture Show 08

Oh no! We forgot to write about one of our biggest performances in the entire year!! Which was, obviously, NSU Culture Show.

This year was very special because it was the first time we ever performed a set written entirely by our own Asayake members. First we had our new and improved Shibuki by Kelli & Mike. And our signature piece Arashi was performed very well by this year's newbies. Kodomo Zakari written by Diana & Mike, was arranged differently from last year with more movements and energy. We have definitely come a loong way since my first year when we played Matsuri :) Can't wait to see the DVD of our performance. Meanwhile, if anyone out in the audience took pictures, please send them to us if you can, we love to see performance pictures! :)

I hope everyone enjoyed our performance, and thanks to all of you who came out to support us.

<3 NSU and Asayake :)

Happy new year! Looks like we're getting off to a pretty productive start with a couple performances this month as well as our group retreat...

Next weekend:
