CELEBRITY GUEST FEATURE: David Gonzalez
In a charmed career, David Gonzalez's first live performance was Carnegie Hall. From there, he embodied the cross-culturalizm of American Taiko from Spanish immersion programs in Alaska to the Grand Sumo Tournament in Las Vegas (and as Jabba the Hutt's drum master on Tatooine). As an indigenous voice and teacher paraeducator, and recruiter for San Francisco Taiko Dojo, David has brought taiko and lion dance to generations of public school youth and, as an event producer, to thousands.
HONORED GUEST: Artoosc and The D Squad
This group was founded on the love of the Star Wars franchise and an affinity for the droids of that universe. Founder Steve Mead entered the convention scene 8 years ago with his Artoo droid. As he made friends and found those with a passion for droids and Star Wars parallel to his own, The D Squad was formed in 2020 with co-founder Kristopher Larson. Together they have created a group of members that strive to share their love of Star Wars and droids with the public, bringing them smiles and joy. The group also supports various charities by raising funds for the charities and attending charity functions.
Their overall mission is to bring happiness and smiles to the public while sharing the love of Star Wars and the many characters of the franchise.
From video games to board games, there's something for everyone at the Scholastic Gaming Expo. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the gaming community and maybe even discover a new favorite game. See you there!
