Course Fees and Supplies

All mariachi students are required to purchase a $15 concert shirt to be used for performances throughout the school year. There is a $35 course fee for being in mariachi. This course fee helps to purchase sheet music for concerts, funds to bring in guest clinicians, supplies, technology, sound equipment for concerts, instrument strings, fees and/or deposits for competitions. Fundraising opportunities will be available for your child to help prevent these out of pocket costs.

Trips

We offer many field trip opportunities for our mariachi students every year. With your permission, there are opportunities to travel to mariachi conferences in Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Texas.

We also take trips to Disneyland and to Cielito Lindo Mexican Restaurant in California, the home of Mariachi Sol de Mexico. We also offer a trip to the Circus Circus Adventuredome here in Las Vegas, NV.
