Entertainment

Marimba Music

Lucia Olais-Macias 559-905-2142

Playing the marimba has been a family tradition for the Olais women. It began in the late 70’s with three sisters learning through the City of Fresno Parks and Recreation Department and continued with private lessons and influences from well known local mariachi/music instructors Tony Manjarrez, Danny Fraijo and also through the Roosevelt School of the Arts Marimba Band instructed by Steve Alcala. Today we are passing down this tradition to our children in hopes that it will carry on for years to come.

We play a purely instrumental eclectic repertoire of songs which resonate beautifully from this amazing instrument from cumbias to polkas to corridos to boleros. Our unique style spotlights the melody of a song on the high register of the instrument while following the undertone of the bass line.

Performances range from private parties, weddings, dinner meetings, fairs and music festivals. Contact Lucia Olais-Macias for future hiring at or at 559-905-2142.

President’s Letter

Keynote Speaker

Martin Mares – Ivy League Project
Martin Mares is the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Ivy League Leadership Project. He has been in education for over 25 years serving as a teacher, administrator, mentor, and advisor. He is passionate about student empowerment and teaching students the importance of leadership skills during monthly Saturday seminars. He believes that it is imperative that students develop a “Sense of Possibility.” He has developed Ivy League Projects in California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. A total of over 128 students from economically challenged communities have been accepted to east coast universities during the past 19 years. Many have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and countless hundreds accepted to West Coast universities. Martin is writing his book entitled “From Grape Vines to Ivy Leagues”. Martin is married to Sulema Mares. They have three children named Andres, Jacqueline, and Izabela.
“I have established Ivy League Project U.S.A. partnerships with over 20 schools districts in California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. My goal is to empower students, parents, educators, and community members in California to develop a mindset that students from rural social economical challenged communities can apply and be accepted to the most selective schools in America. My love for students has allowed me to help over 128 high school students from the Central California area be accepted to selective schools such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Wellesley, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, Mount Holyoke, Stanford, Penn, and Georgetown University.”
