• Escape beyond Hokkaido. "Ondekoza," demon drummers of Japan, are at Centennial Hall tonight. In the remote northern islands of Japan, the 17-member company of "demon drummers" practice the demanding communal athletic rituals that allow them to master their 700-pound taiko (big drum) instruments. Hollowed from the trunks of keyaki trees, their drumming is entwined with their Shinto spiritual beliefs and their intense physicality, a commitment that earned them a Guinness world record for a three-year, 13,000-mile tour of America - on foot. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets from $15.
