Valentin of High Desert Mariachi Juvenil was giving them last minute instruction:  "Smile, smile, smile when you perform!"
The guitar and the guitarist waiting for their turn to perform.
I saw him all the way across the garden.  I waited and hoped he would walk towards the building.  I hoped, too, he would go through the columns all by himself.  People have started arriving and were milling around already.  Slowly, he walked into the frame of my lens.  Click.  Right after the click, kids were rushing in.  I just made it in the nick of time.
Waiting for their turn.
