Here's the photo of one performance from the student concert. We are performing Kumoi-Jishi (mystical lion).

I've recently returned from the 14th annual Rocky Shakuhachi Camp in Loveland, Colorado. It was five days; playing the Japanese shakuhachi morning, noon, and night. The students and master level teachers are from all over the world, including several from Japan and one teacher from Australia.
Here's the group photo from the camp. We had two people from Arizona attend the camp. Richard C. And my self.
I'm already looking forward to next year!
Beyond the amazing music, I really enjoyed seeing the faces of the audience. I had set up my video camera and was seated off to the side. From my position, it was easy to see the audience's faces. We had a large number of people who'd never heard the shakuhachi before. There was also about half-dozen shakuhachi players in the crowd. The faces went from almost jaw dropping awe and steady fixed gazes to those that had a child-like glow to their face.
