Founded in September of 2016, Mariachi los Rayos and its feeder program serve approximately 30 students in 6th, 7th and 8th grades providing the benefits of a comprehensive music education through the study of Mexico’s most famous music.
Mariachi los Rayos has performed at over 30 school and community events in the 18 months they since they started. Many of the performances are outdoors at festivals, or at other events where people are eating and socializing. It has been difficult to hear the students without proper amplification. The Passport Venue Portable PA system includes a mixer with space for up to 10 microphones, and two speakers that all clip together for easy portability and set up. This will allow the students' voices to be heard more clearly while maintaining proper vocal technique, especially as they advance into singing solos and duets. As our program grows, we will be able to add microphones for the instruments too.
Our students are proud to perform as ambassadors for their school, community, and mariachi music in the midwest. Viva los Rayos!
