WHEREAS, Students from Starr County earned great | ||
distinction with their performances at the 2021 Mariachi Vargas | ||
Extravaganza; and | ||
WHEREAS, Held in San Antonio, Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza | ||
is an annual festival and competition named for Mariachi Vargas | ||
de Tecalitlán, whose members act as judges; each year, students | ||
in mariachi groups from across the country rehearse a | ||
seven-minute performance featuring two songs and participate in | ||
semifinal competitions; the finalists then vie for the | ||
opportunity to call themselves national champions; and | ||
WHEREAS, During the 2021 contest, four of the six high | ||
school finalists were from Starr County schools, including the | ||
Mariachi Nuevo Santander junior varsity and varsity groups of | ||
Roma High School, Mariachi Cascabel of Rio Grande City High | ||
School, and Mariachi Grulla de Plata of Grulla High School; | ||
Mariachi Cascabel took home the first-place trophy while | ||
Mariachi Grulla de Plata placed second and Mariachi Nuevo | ||
Santander placed third; and | ||
WHEREAS, These exceptional groups benefited from the able | ||
leadership of their directors, Marcos Zárate, lead director of | ||
Mariachi Cascabel, Alfonso Rodriguez, director of Mariachi | ||
Grulla de Plata, and Eloy Garza, director of Mariachi Nuevo | ||
Santander; and | ||
WHEREAS, With their success at the 2021 Mariachi Vargas | ||
Extravaganza, these outstanding young Texans have brought | ||
great credit to their schools and communities, and they may | ||
take justifiable pride in their accomplishments; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all Starr County students who | ||
participated at the 2021 Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza | ||
competition and extend to them sincere best wishes for the | ||
future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for Mariachi Cascabel, Mariachi Grulla de Plata, and | ||
Mariachi Nuevo Santander as an expression of high regard from the | ||
Texas Senate. | ||
