Mariachi Aztlán de Pueblo High School
The award-winning Mariachi Aztlán de Pueblo was founded in the fall of 1992 as a curricular component within the Pueblo Magnet High School Performing Arts department by Mr. Richard Carranza. Celebrating their 30th anniversary this upcoming year, they are comprised entirely of Pueblo Magnet High School students ranging in age from 14 to 18 years old. The mariachi program has grown from eleven students in its first year to well over one hundred and twenty students currently. Students are offered three levels of mariachi music: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced/Performing group – “Mariachi Aztlán”. Students entering the performing group must, after audition and acceptance, maintain a high level of academic achievement in order to remain on the “first team”. Their extensive practice and performance schedule also demands most of their free time. The seventeen-piece Mariachi Aztlán is motivated by pride and dedication to their cultural heritage of Mexico.
The group plays authentic mariachi music, arranged and conducted by teacher and director, John Contreras, himself a mariachi musician with over thirty years of experience. Dressed in their elaborate traje de charro outfits, the group boasts a repertoire of traditional mariachi music.
