I love mariachi. If there are a significant number of students in Texas who would like to be competitive mariachis (sounds a little weird :-), then why not give them the chance?
I can dig it. :)
The kids in Tucson who are involved with Mariachi are so talented. The music, the dancing, the costumes...I love it!!
I've often thought that Montezuma's revenge isn't gastric distress...it's the accordian player in a mariachi band.
