Mariachi

Well the concert already came we went to the class first to play and practice are music i was so happy to be representing my family tradition of wearing a big charro sombrero. I was first to play my part in the trumpet went fantastic and next was the vocals it went again fantastic i was so happy that i wasn't nervous like i was 2 months ago. Well it was time to play all the people look so cool and i looked much cooler than them that;s a fact jack. But i didn't want mt confidence to win me. Finally the sound of the instrument's were sounding and all the people applause but that was only the intro cause we had 2 song's left to play they were Los laureles and Noche de paz. Afterword's it was my part of singing i started with a big ayyyyyyyy cause that wa the song then i got scared of losing my sound but then another voice came he was a mariachi vargas member i got so excited that i even try to reach higher notes which was hard for a 14 years old but i did it. It was a experience that i will never forget.Here is a picture of almost how we sing.

Mariachi

So it was time to show my talent in mariachi class but my nervous system wen't over me and play so horrible it was a very ugly sound that my classmates just keep stared at me and i got more nervous. I get nervous when i have to play in front of people but i told my self that a mariachi don't have to be nervous and shy but to be happy and play like if it was the last time you are playing . Then the teacher told me to play again and i played with anger to show my classmates that i can do it. Suddenly i heard the sound it was terrific. Well 2 months already pass and the winter concert is coming. Every day i practice to give the best show ever with the mariachi group. Well each day anger was killing me i thought i will make a mistake cause i have to play the trumpet and sing the song of los Laureles is a very hard song to sing but i was sure i could do it like nike said just do it.I hope we played like this

Mariachi

Well school already begin the first thing that i wanted to do was go to mariachi class it was my second period. I was so excited to get to my second period. Finally I got to my second period and I suddenly I got this energy and start examining the room. Then the teacher said welcome in English i got shocked cause it supposed to be mariachi not band. But then he said bienvenidos then i got more confident. Afterwords we just got organized of who's playing what and I choose to play the trumpet cause I have good air and suddenly the teacher said las voces that means the singers I raised my hand as high as I could.  I choose to play the trumpet cause I can hold my breath for a long time and i choose ton sing cause my family has good voice like half of my family knows how to sing and won trophies of singing mariachi. Afterwords it was boring when I got home I went to the horn's shop and buy one for like 400.00$$ dollars I told my self it has to be worth it cause it was all the money I saved.When my dad came i asked if he knew mariachi vargas which it was the best mariachi in the world and that's a fact jack. Well my dad said he was a friend with one member and he told me he will visit today I got so excited. Finally he came with a big instrument it was the harp very hard to play. Then he gave an autograph and leave early cause of a concert. here is the picture of mariachi vargas. He is the one in the first row the 6 one kind of to the right.

Mariachi

Hey my name is Ricardo and i was born in Houston Texas. My family was born in mexico.Half of my family
practice the genre mariachi which is starting to be a tradition cause right now my nephew and me are in mariachi class which is very hard.Is hard cause in a mariachi you have to be so friendly to your partners and 
when you play your instrument you have to be a very happy person not like orquestra they play so sad in my opinion.when i heard Johnston Middle School had a program which was mariachi i sign up and i got accepted i was so happy. Over the summer i was practicing my notes cause i didn't have my instrument yet my  mom said i will get it when school starts.I will show you a image of a cartoon mariachi.stock vector : Mariachi Band "Shutterstock." Shutterstock.

That's an idea of how a mariachi looks but it has more members if you see how they are playing you cam see that they are playing with their happiness and their heart.how hard is to be in a mariachi.
