First performance?
We might have our first performance coming up already! I know we've only had a few practices, but Ms. Lazo would love it if we could perform for the Holiday Assembly at our school. Let's talk about it this Friday and see if we can prepare something in time!
See you all at practice this Friday from 3:30-4:30! Don't forget to bring your notebooks and water!

Korean drums for sale!
Anyone interested in buying their own Korean jangu? The teachers are selling the ones that they brought for $170. The drum comes with the chaes (sticks) and a protective carrying bag. This is a great price, so if you are interested let me know! I know this is a lot of money, so if you can't buy them, don't worry. =) You can continue to use the ones I borrow.
Oh, I forgot to thank my dad! Thank you, 아빠, for always helping and volunteering at our school! My dad is a HUGE help in transporting the drums to and from our school every Friday in his minivan. Thank you thank you!

Welcome!
Hello, everyone!
The UCLA Community School has just opened its doors in September of 2009, and soon afterwards we began our auditions for the first traditional Korean drumming group. Fifteen students were selected, and together we have been practicing for a month now. The style of drumming we play is called Poongmul.
Last week, we had a special visit from master teachers from Pilbong, South Korea, a small rural village in the south part of the country, so this was a rare special treat for our students! (Ms. Lee studied there 2 summers ago.)
We were without a group name, but one of the master teachers chose a name for our group! We are now "Uri-Nuri," which means "Our World" in Korean.
We practice every Friday from 3:30-4:30 in the multi-purpose room of our school. Many thanks go out to both KIWA (Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance) and Chamsori/Freedom Sounds poongmul pae for allowing us to borrow their instruments every week!
