Mariachi

Last week I attended a Mariachi Conference in Tucson, AZ. It was a fun experience. I bonded with friends and learned some really great music. It was interesting because I was finally able to be in the world but not of it. I also got to sing a song called "Amor de los Dos". We all (Samantha, Erika, chris, Kim, Hector, Marysol, Juan, Pancho, and Zaida) had a memorable time. It was exceptionally funny when Sam tried to smell through french fries, hear with straws, and later drink a frosty with a straw through her nose. :) On the second day, we had lunch in a grass area. After eating pizza, we learned to dance ranchera style, ballroom style, soaked Mr. Cochrand, and had an imitation cow contest. The ride home was very sad, beacause that was the last time our Mariachi would ever take a trip.

I also learned a lot of really great music. We played "Las Mañanitas", "No Volvere", "Tu y las Nubes", "Amor de los Dos", "En tu Dia", and "El Tranchete". Some of it was difficult, but most of it was very simple and elementary. I was forced to sing some songs with some friends and one alone. I was sweating bullets, but I think it turned out okay.All in all it was a great trip and I would definitely go on it again.
