"Dream Big, Change The World"

Welcome to the official blog for the East Territory Youth Division Festival, to be held on July 25, 2010. The festival will be held in Philadelphia, PA, on the campus of Temple University. The theme of the festival is: "Dream Big, Change The World"

The purpose of this blog is to centralize as much information in one location as possible.

In regards to the July festival, if there has been a flyer, memo, announcement, sign-up form, YPG performance video (to practice), etc. e-mailed from the Territory, there is a very good chance you will find it here on this blog site.

We hope that having this site will help expedite the communication through the line as an additional resource, and not serve as an alternative to one-to-one dialogue, etc.

We thank you so much for your support to this point, and we can't wait to see you in Philadelphia! ROCK THE ERA WITH SENSEI! USA! USA!

In the January 22, 2010 World Tribune, President Ikeda writes, "The Colombian poet Angel Maria Cespedes wrote, 'The sun is ever young.' You are all radiant suns of kosen-rufu in the places of your mission. Therefore, please take action with youthful passion and enthusiasm. Encourage your fellow members, and brighten the organization with your warm and sunny presence."
