Field Trips - Sponsored and underwritten by Orchestra Boosters
                                            Orchestra Boosters asks the students to remember that the opportunity for these
                                            trips is offered to expand the students'  musical experience,  and that they are 
                                            a privilege, not a right.

Sones de Mexico Ensemble


Capitol Theatre 
Madison, WI

Elementary Field Trip Permission form
for this trip


Sones de México Ensemble teaches about Mexican music and dance by recreating the atmosphere of a traditional fandango (dancefiesta), where the most colorful, joyous and upbeat sones are played and danced until sunrise. And the audience is invited to participate! The group's joyous interpretation of the Mexican son tradition includes many regional styles, combined with acrobatic dance displays and bright four-part harmony vocals. Specially created for young audiences, the presentation features a masked dance, lessons about Aztec cosmology and the ecosystem, musical concepts of tempo and polyrhythms and the most famous Mexican son, 
"La Bamba."

Students will leave in the morning
from their school by school bus
and return by about 2:40 p.m.
