The group has won first place consecutively the past seven years in the Tucson International Mariachi Conference’s High School Division. He’s including four students who were members of Mariachi Aztlan during the pandemic days. They never got to travel for performances, so he has invited them to play with the group at the parade.
That, coupled with money they’ve earned from gigs and fundraisers, has put the group about one-third closer to their overall goal of $55,000. “It was incredible. I looked in the mirror and I was like, ‘Wow, I'm actually an official Aztlan member'. That’s when it really hit me, I’m in my dream group,” Vargas said.
