Music Fest XII offers camps, mariachi fest and July 4 extravaganza
Community and diversity are the themes of Colorado Music Fest XII, presented by
Colorado State University-Pueblo, which will feature concerts in on-campus and
off-campus venues along with the popular July 4 extravaganza. Colorado Music
Fest XII is a summer long series (thru August 5) of music camps and concerts
coordinated by the CSU-Pueblo Department of Music.
This year’s Music Fest will increase its focus on community involvement and
diversity by celebrating Pueblo and Southern Colorado’s multi-cultural heritage
with performances in various neighborhoods. To highlight the widely varied,
cross-cultural talent of the area, Music Fest will host a series of workshops
and events highlighting specific ethnic heritages, such as Hispanic, Native
American and African American. Teams of CSU-Pueblo music faculty and students
also will perform at community and recreation centers throughout the region.
More than 150 children will receive educational instruction and performance
opportunities during the jazz, string, guitar, keyboard and vocal camps and an
estimated 30,000 community members will have an opportunity to attend numerous
concerts (schedule follows). In addition to camp concerts, Music Fest XII will
bring back the Southern Colorado Mariachi Fest, a gathering of the region’s best
mariachi bands for a full-day clinic and concert, and will offer a Children’s
Concert along with its July 4 extravaganza.
On June 24, the Mariachi Fest will include a one-day mariachi clinic to students
of all ages and musical backgrounds. The clinics will be offered to musicians
who have an interest in learning or expanding their individual mariachi
musicianship utilizing trumpet, violin, guitar, vihuela, guitarron and voice.
The daylong clinic will be held at CSU-Pueblo. An evening performance featuring
clinicians and students will be at the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference
Center. Last year’s event drew a standing room only crowd, so arrive early! The
featured clinicians and performers will be Mariachi Tenampa from Albuquerque and
Mariachi Acoiris from Pueblo.
The 101st Army Band will set a patriotic tone at the popular July 4th
Extravaganza before an hour-long fireworks show sponsored by the local Sertoma
Club, while the University will coordinate food and beverage vendors for
attendees. More than 17,000 people attended last year’s Independence Day
activities, and it remains the only fireworks show in town on this national
holiday. A free Children’s Concert by Bonnie Phipps will begin in Hoag Hall at 5
p.m. before the outdoor concert at 7 p.m. Parking is $5 per carload, which
benefits Sertoma charities.
Complete details on concerts and camps may be obtained by visiting the Music
Fest web site at
