BE A JOYA
VEGAS MARIACHI
presented by
The Guitar Center Music Foundation
The Las Vegas High School Mariachi Program was founded in 2018 for a community
that embodies what it means to “SHINE BRIGHT”. As Clark County School District’s flagship high
school, the Vegas Alma Mater proudly exclaims that the school is the “Jewel (Joya) of the
Desert”. After discussions with students, staff, and the community, “Mariachi Joya” was born.
Since then, Mariachi Joya has made a name for itself not only in Nevada, but world-wide,
making headlines as far as Guatemala. Students from Las Vegas HS Mariachi have performed with
ELLAS, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Mariachi Divas, Mariachi
Nuevo Tecalitlan, Aida Cuevas, Grupo Firme, and even Chiquis Rivera.

Our Work
After their historic performance at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, the students of the LVHS Mariachi Program had big expectations to live up to and continued to perform at a high level. Mariachi Joya just extended its National Tour, with performances for the Mexican Embassy in Washington DC, the Mayor of San Antonio in Texas, the Mayor of Las Vegas, The Governor of Nevada, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Czech Republic Ambassador to the United States Hynek Kmonicek. While on tour they were named “The Nation’s Premier Mariachi Ensemble” by SBO Magazine and given Certificates of Congressional Commendation by the United States’ first Latina Senator,
Catherine Cortez-Masto. Most recently, the group opened for John Legend and
performed for President Barrack Obama. Vegas Mariachi just announced
its upcoming album titled “Fandango”,
to be released
in 2024.
