Zacatecas (Genaro Codina, arr. LP Laurendeau) Lincoln HS Wind Ensemble 1 performs at CASMEC 2022

Saturday February 19 2022 at William Saroyan Theater Fresno , California All State Music Education Conference inviting and featuring only 2 of the best High School Bands of California. The Wind Ensemble 1 is the top musicians of Lincoln High Stockton and is conducted by Directors Cathy Ettle, Kristin Florek and Jazareth Valencia. Jazareth Valencia , Director Zacatecas, Mexican March, was composed around 1891 and premiered by the Municipal band of Zacatecas in October 1893. The band was conducted by the Codina’s brother-in-law Fernando Villapando and the concert was presented at the city of Plaza de Armas. The March was dedicated by to general Jesus Archiega , the governor of the state. The composition was a result of a number of meetings with other musicians in Villapando’s home. The conductor decided to sponsor a March composition contest and also to submit his own entry. Both Codina( using his faithful harp) and Villapando worked tirelessly on their manuscripts throughout the time. Even though Villapando’s March was described as “beautiful” by other musicians, Codina won the contest. His brother-in-law exhibited his good sportsmanship not only by premiering the work, but also by assisting with the arrangement. In a diverse community such as our own, we strive for our students within our Lincoln community to be properly represented. With a majority of our Stockton population being Mexican descent, we wanted to include a piece of music which recognizes and reflects the diversity among our students.
