McALLEN, Texas – The McAllen High Mariachi Oro won the Class 5A state championship Friday night following the Texas Association of Mariachi Educators (TAME) competition in San Antonio.
This is their seventh state championship in the past nine years. Last year, there was no competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This one was extra special and extra tough,” McAllen High Mariachi Oro Instructor Alex Trevino said. “Our kids pulled it through and battled it out on stage against the best of the best.”
