Auditions for 2022-2023 "advanced" Mariachi Juvenil Los Tigres
In the 2022-2023 school year, the Mariachi is getting Trajes (suits)! Because we will look the part, we also need to sound our best and be able to give performances with all songs memorized and polished.
To audition for next year's "advanced" mariachi - you will do the following:
1) Perform "La Negra" from memory with instrumental and vocal parts. Just you with the recording softly playing in the background!
2) Auditions will happen the week of MAY 16-20 after school, in person
- All violins play the Violin 1 part
- All violas play the Violin 3 part
- All trumpets play the Trumpet 1 part
- Harp plays the Bajo part
If you play Trumpet, Armonia, or Bajo, you will do the vocal audition after you are finished with your instrument audition.
The lyrics are below, and you can find the notes for the vocal line in the Violin 1 part in the PDF below.

Lyrics
Negrita de mis pesares Ojos de papel volando Negrita de mis pesares Ojos de papel volando A todos diles que sí Pero no les digas cuando Así me dijiste a mí Por eso vivo penando Cuando me traes a mi Negra Que la quiero ver aquí Con su rebozo de ceda Que le traje de Tepic Cuando me traes a mi Negra Que la quiero ver aquí Con su rebozo de ceda Que le traje de Tepic |

NYSSMA Conference Performance Pieces
Use the videos below to practice the pieces in the NYSSMA Performance booklet! The songs that say "Same key" are recorded in the same key in which we are playing them. That means that you can play along with the video to learn those! For "Canta, canta, canta", "Los Laureles", and "Cielito Lindo", you can use last year's recordings of the WPHS Mariachi below to play along with. La Malaguena is the only song that we don't have a recording for in our key. Enjoy!
