Norco High Mariachi Ensemble
The Norco High School Mariachi Ensemble was created in the fall of 2021 to provide an exciting new addition to the instrumental music class offerings at Norco High School.
The group is unique in that it incorporates the elements of strings, winds, brass, and vocals in a unique mix, performing compositions that have a rich and valued place within the Hispanic culture. The class is open to all students, grades, and ability levels and aims to be as authentic to the genre and performance traditions of the music. This includes a representative repertoire of pieces, traditional instruments like the guitarron and the vihuela, as well as traditional Mariachi performance attire.
The group has performed locally for organizations like Bonanza Plumbing and the American Legion in Corona. This year they hope to continue their journey in learning and performing Mariachi music while proudly representing CNUSD and the Norco community.
