Mariachi Chula Vista was formed at Chula Vista High School in September 2001. Since then, the group of young musicians has performed at more than 900 events and has earned a reputation as one of the best student mariachis in the country. The group has appeared at festivals in Albuquerque, Tucson, Las Cruces, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Phoenix, San Jose, and Guadalajara sharing the stage with the world?s most famous mariachis: Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitl?n, Los Camperos de Nati Cano, Mariachi Sol de M?xico de Jos? Hern?ndez, Mariachi de Am?rica de Jes?s Rodr?guez de Hijar, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles, Mariachi Divas, and Mariachi Internacional Guadalajara. Mariachi Chula Vista has won numerous awards and competitions, including Overall First Place at the Albuquerque Mariachi Spectacular (2006 and 2009) after defeating groups in all divisions. Mariachi Chula Vista was the subject of an extended front-page article in the New York Times, was the first student mariachi invited to perform at a national music teachers? conference (MENC 2006, Salt Lake City), and at Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC (July 2009). Mariachi Chula Vista is directed by Mark Fogelquist, whose career as a mariachi scholar, performer, director, and educator spans four decades.
