Mariachi Unidos
Since 2023 Mariachi Unidos has brought students together from across our district to celebrate culture, build community, and learn the rich musical traditions of mariachi. Open to any and all students in 3rd–8th grade, the program welcomes all experience levels and offers instruction in trumpet, violin, guitar, and guitarrón. Spanish is not required to join the program.
Through engaging instruction sessions, rehearsals and public performances, students not only develop musical skills but also build confidence, connection, and a strong sense of belonging. Join us as we honor tradition and create something uniquely ours - ¡Unidos por la música!
The Mariachi Program offers the following weekly:
- 45 minute instrument class (Guitar, Guitarron, Trumpet, Violin)
- 45 minute vocal class
- Academic support
- Dinner
- Parent engagement via podcast (Coming soon!)
- Two week summer camp (*Optional*)
Enrollment for the upcoming summer camp is now open for returning and new students.
Where: McKinley Elementary School - 701 Paloma Ave
When: Monday, June 15 - Friday, June 26 from 3:15pm - 5:15pm
Students will learn their choice instrument as well as participate in voice class.
Thank you for your interest in our Mariachi program!
