Students were having a very good year until a virus, coronavirus or covid -19, due to that situation schools were cancelled so we decided to interview students to hear their opinion on all schools closing.

Cereceres said that yes, everybody enjoyed playing music and had fun.

“One of my favorite moments was when I got to play in my first concert with the advanced Mariachi class”, Cereceres said

Cereceres said he felt pretty upset, specially because it was the class where he got to do what he most love.

“Passion, because everyone played with pride and passion”, Cereceres said

Cereceres said,Yes, specially because most of them were Seniors.

“I think that we will come back better than ever this next school year”, Cereceres said

Cereceres said, The thing he misses most about Mariachi is being able to play songs with his friends and getting together to practice.

“I honestly did had an amazing year in Mariachi, I really enjoyed this year even though we didn’t got to state or to Tucson but we get to come together as a family though the hard times,” Medrano said

Medrano said some of his favorite moments for sure that he had this year is when it was double gig dayand after it they went to a soccer game and also the full month we practice for UIL.

Medrano said,They had a lot of fun stuff this year, such as competition, and playing at the sun bowl, but his favorite was the border folk festival. They  had some workshops for Mariachi and he had also had the opportunity to have a singing workshop with Jose Hernandez from Mariachi Sol de Mexico in front of everyone in the workshop which was really fun. Also, he got to see a lot of good groups in there.

Medrano said, he felt really good when he performed but he felt really disappointed and depressed when they figure out that they did not make it to state and felt really bad specially for the seniors because they were really exited for state and worked really hard.

“The rehearsals and gigs for sure,” Medrano said.

Medrano says, he felt sad about it because he really was excited to start gigingand and learn more songs.

”I got disappointed about it when I found out everything was cancelled but at least we have next year.”Medrano said.

Castaños said he thought they had a good Mariachi year, they have learned a lot and he honestly had a really good group, even though they didn’t have as Much gigs as other years.

“We had a lot fun stuff this year, such as competition, and playing at the sun bowl, but my favorite was the border folk festival. There we had some workshops for mariachi and I also had the opportunity to have a singing workshop with Jose Hernandez from Mariachi Sol de Mexico in front of everyone in the workshop which was really fun. Also got to see a loy of good groups in there”, Castaños said

Castaños said one word to describe his Mariachi year is progressive, he learned a lot throughout the school year and he thinks they all are in a more experienced group than how the year started.

“Although we didn’t get a division 1 this year, I think we did pretty good, and I was happy with my performance, I think we did our best and that is always what matters”, Castaños said.

Castaños said from mariachi he definitely misses gigs the most. He loves playing and sharing their music for other people.

“I was honestly sad, because usually mariachi season doesn’t end until the school year ends. I really enjoyed performing, and since this is my senior year, I was really enjoying the last times playing with the group and hoped playing more”,Castaños said.
