state competitions, Mariachi Toros de Plata also achieved |
|
|
noteworthy success at the Texas Association of Mariachi Educators |
|
|
state competition held in San Antonio on February 4; making its |

third consecutive appearance at this annual TAME event, the group |
|
|
earned seventh place with its performance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and dedication, the members |
|
|
of Mariachi Toros de Plata have brought great credit to their school |
|
|
and their community, and they may indeed take pride in their many |
