There was a great concert on the last day. The most famous mariachis would perform there. I would finally be able to hear for the first time in my life what mariachi really is. Later that day I got ready and left for the location where the showcase was held. When I got there, I waited in line. The hot sun was eating away at my back. I stood in line for about an hour, but I knew it would be worth it. When I finally got in, I looked for the seat closest to the stage. I noticed one five rows away from the stage. I ran as fast as I could and sat inside. As I sat there, I watched the mariachis prepare to play. They stood on stage tall and proud with their heads held high. The clothes they wore shone, shiny and colorful, with the spotlight shining directly on them. About a minute later they raised their instruments and began to play. As they played, I couldn't believe my ears. Hearing them play changed my view of mariachi at that time. I was in love. The sound of the mariachis was so amazing. The trumpets sounded so loud and bright that they sent shivers down my spine. The violins and singing also put a warm feeling inside me. Everything was so precise and perfect. After that night I promised myself that one day I would be right there
