| San Antonio Mariachi Competition 2007 |
|
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 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! Extravaganza Foto Album!
