MYO Mariachi 2011

Welcome to the first of a series of Summer 2011 blogs highlighting some of the wonderful opportunities MYO students have had around our community, around our state and beyond.



MYO Teachers Danielle Yeti and Jose Valencia facilitated our very first Mariachi Workshop and our dear friends at Broadway United Methodist Church were kind enough to host and provide some extra decor!

We had a great time, with 11 participants and a brilliantly bright and hot afternoon - like so many we've had recently. We've provided a few pictures from the performance. I'm working on posting the video as well. Stay tuned! Remember that all of the music was rehearsed in one afternoon and the session was designed to learn more than the music, but to understand more about the history and background of mariachi music.



We capped off the day with a visit from West Coast Tacos - thanks to our new friends there who joined us for the performance.




MYO families - send me your summer story!
