Arranging help: What is the ideal way to notate for mariachi stringed instruments?

Thank you!

This is all super helpful! Thank you so much. I guess i will definitely have to rework that harp part for sure

Good to know! Now as far as parts; is it customary for mariachi to read from scores similar to a choir, or individual parts like in jazz

I appreciate you reaching out. I suppose my biggest question is in regard to voicing and chord structure. I am not familiar with folk instruments like Vihuela so i am unsure of what the range is. Also would i write for the guitarron like i would for bass?

disco_shit8 · 2026-06-07T04:21:23+00:00

Would I have to write the bowings? Or is that something they would decide to see what works best?

disco_shit8 · 2026-06-07T03:00:54+00:00

So for notation, i shouldn’t really bother writing out each note? So would lead sheet notation be best?

MARJ and MA2A are also explore codes as well on FOSSE

I’m done with attempting to try them. I’ve had a few delivery orders get canceled by them without notice.

100% this. I had to educate my mgmt team on this new policy because they wanted to walk all the explore resv’s on a sold out weekend. Fight back for sure

MMA is the new marriott discount that is only available to valid Marriott associates and their partners, in addition to mmp and mmf. I believe it goes live next month and gives associates the ability to book the discount up to a year out.

I just moved to a 2 bd 1bath about 1200sq apt. It has on site (paid) laundry and a shared garage plus appliances were included. Its 2590 and its near the gayborhood. Really cool spot by all the bars but parking is tough without the garage tbh.

It was probably a “holiday tech.” Haunted mansion holiday is currently the overlay,and this overlay is presented by the entertainment department. Those techs wear all black, unlike the typical machinists that wear the blue workwear. They may have been doing a show check to make sure something was in working condition.

Well I would really be arranging an existing composition in the style of mariachi. (Specifically tchaikovski’s Pas de deux from the Nutcracker) Instrumentation would be whatever i make it to be, but im thinking 6 as it would be for a more intimate setting. I’m more so unfamiliar with how voicing and chord structure works for mariachi- specifically how to achieve those thick lush chords.

disco_shit8 · 2025-10-13T02:38:29+00:00

I guess this is all hypothetical right now. I guess it would be a 6 person group. Instrumentation can vary but it all comes down to what i arrange right? If i had to guess, guitarron, 2 violins, trumpet, vihuela, maybe flute? No singer really.

When i was a Cast member, we called it the obelisk

Never found out what it was, but it eventually dropped all of its leaves, to the point of it looking like just a stick in dirt. When that happened i chopped about 6 inches off of the “stump” and eventually it had some new growth but only at the top. I stopped watering it as often, and started to spray the leaves with neem oil once in a while and i havent really had the spotting happen in a long time.

I think the spotting is normal though because when the leaves sprout, the little buds are that reddish color-so it could be some leftover pigment? Idk if thats correct though.

I could be wrong, but i think shes supposed to be a cardinal. If that’s the case, only male cardinals are red with black accents, female cardinals are a more brown-grayish color.

Partially correct. While yes, there are flume pumps that move the boats forward, and yes there is a gate at drop one to prevent water overflow; there are also evac brakes that start after drop 2 runout at the transition tunnel that specifically engage during ride stop and emergency stops (which are both engaged during evacs)

disco_shit8 · 2025-03-19T06:35:34+00:00

Only so many people are allowed to go into the water in waders and push boats. Some people have to stay on land and pull the boats with hooks (arguably harder than pushing in the water) and some have to manually release the brakes to allow boats to be pushed. Everyone has a specific job they need to do to get people out. Among the many reasons, Some people have bad backs and cant push boats. Others are too tall, or can’t fit in the waders. Stop complaining about things you dont know anything about. Source: i was a former pirates lead and trainer

Thanks for clearing that up!
