This year, Yulien Morgado made history by proudly representing Maine West High School as a guitarist at the inaugural ILMEA Mariachi Honors Festival! Sponsored by the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA), and hosted at South Elgin High School, this brand-new event celebrated the incredible tradition of mariachi music while giving students across the state a platform to shine.
Yulien spent the day rehearsing with expert clinicians, connecting with peers who share a love for mariachi music, and performing in a dynamic final concert. The energy, pride, and musicianship on stage were absolutely inspiring!
Congratulations, Yulien! We are so proud of you!
