Mariachi Camp is supported by The Office of Arts & Culture’s Arts Activate Program and the Law Office of Domingo Garcia

The Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra is now in our second year of partnering with Dallas ISD in presenting a FREE Mariachi Camp at Greiner Middle School.

Felipe Diaz and Maria “Lupe” Garcia who are both leading mariachi musicians in the local music scene and full time Dallas ISD teachers led this year’s camp. This free camp will serve 180 youngsters at Greiner MS from May 29-May 31, 2024. It is open to any student enrolled in DISD, and campers are provided bussing and meals during the day. Students will rehearse for the run of the camp, culminating in a performance (which is also free of charge and open to the public) at Greiner MS on May 31.

This performance highlights the talents of every student and teacher from the camp and includes performances by a professional mariachi ensemble to both inspire our young students and to increase/diversify the audience.

Unfortunately because of the severe storms that passed through the area and knocked out the power, this years final performance was canceled.

Please enjoy these pictures and video from this and last years camps.
