This year Dra. Romero invited Mariachi Tesoro to open for Los Camperos de Nati Cano, directed by Chuy Guzman! The Tesoro musicians and their families were honored and excited to play not only for Los Camperos but all of their peers attending the conference and a friendly Tucson audience!

•  Mariachi Tesoro de Tucson participated in two categories of the competition at San Antonio in 2007 hosted by Mariachi Vargas. All Tesoro musicians attended 2 days of workshops with Mariachi Vargas maestros, competed with groups at their level, met mariachis of all ages and experience, watched the masters perform, and learned a great deal.

• Tesoro won  1st Place in the elementary/middle school category!  Two of our musicians - Fernando (Trompeta y Guitarra) and Chung (Vihuela) were finalists in the Vocal Competition for Elementary/Middle School. They were highly competitive, performed con gusto and sang con ganas. We are very proud! Videos

•  Tesoro and the other competition winners opened for Mariachi Vargas that Saturday night. Tesoro received a standing ovation for its performance of Cascabel. Tesoro instruments now proudly bear the autographs of Pepe Sr., Pepe Jr., Stevie, and other musicians in Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.

•  The Tesoro Family thanks Mariachi Vargas for their supportive mentorship and encouragement, and our Tucson supporters for this wonderful experience.
