(Clearwisdom.net) On November 21, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Chiayi were invited to perform waist drums in the parade in Dalin Town. A gold banner reading "Falun Dafa" led the waist drum troupe. Spectators were all attracted to the performance.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Dalin Elementary School, the local government held many activities. One of them is the parade. One waist drummer said that there are many Falun Dafa waist drum groups in Taiwan, and their performances are wonderful, so local practitioners wanted to set one up too. Last December, the local practitioners invited a practitioner from Tainan to teach them to play. Since then, they practice every Sunday. A few months later, they were good enough to perform. They have performed in Yunlin, Tainan, and Kaohsiung.
Practitioners were very happy to be invited to perform in such a small town. The parade lasted for two hours. An older practitioner said that he didn't feel tired. He said: "The purpose of setting up a waist drum team is to use the performance as a tool to spread Falun Dafa. Our performance was very welcome here, and we brought the beauty of Falun Dafa to the local people too."
