Did you know that Jones Middle School has the state's only Middle School Mariachi Program?

They recently played a concert to showcase months of hard work and growth from students who started the school year with little to no experience in mariachi music. Through learning traditional instruments, rhythms, and performance practices rooted in Mexican musical heritage, these students have built a program that celebrates culture, collaboration, and musical excellence.

The mariachi ensemble performed alongside the school’s concert bands, creating an evening that blends traditional band selections with the vibrant energy and rich sound of mariachi music. Guests were treated to lively melodies, dynamic rhythms, and performances that highlight both the students’ dedication and the expanding diversity of music education in the region.
