IMG_4516

Ittekimasu (いってきます) is a phrase one would use to announce their departure, usually when leaving home. However, it’s not simply “I’m leaving” as there’s an intent to return. This year in their 12th annual Spring Concert, Senryu Taiko would like to present “Ittekimasu” to showcase our journey since leaving The Barn Theater, and despite trials and tribulations met along the way, we still stand strong and inured by all these hardships to one day be able to return home.
