Hundreds of students from across the country are in San Antonio this week to participate in the largest Mariachi Festival in Texas.
“For the next two days, on Thursday and Friday, we are hosting three national competitions. Now, these are the largest longest-running and most competitive competitions in the country and these students have been practicing for months,” Cynthia Munoz, producer of the 28th annual Mariachi Extravaganza said.
“I’m a music education major. It is such an honor and I’m so grateful to represent all of the San Antonio community and UTSA at this year’s national vocal competition,” Chacon said. “It is part of who I am as a person. I grew up with Mariachi music. It’s what I sing. It’s what I feel and it’s my everything,” Chacon said.
