Berkner’s Mariachi Orgullo Advances to STATE UIL!

Berkner Mariachi Band

These awesome humans marked a historic first for Berkner High School and for Richardson ISD.

These students get to say that they were the first ever Mariachi in Richardson ISD to earn a 1st Division Rating at Mariachi UIL Contest and advanced to the State UIL Mariachi Festival

2 of the musicians pictured, seniors, are charter members from when the group was formed by Lydia Villarreal-Samperio in 2022.  4 of the musicians pictured began learning the instrument they play at the beginning of the school year.

Mariachi Orgullo!  Si Señor!
