Springfield High School high school moves toward forming mariachi band - Oregon

“Springfield High School wants to strike up a new band. It would feature a guitarron, a vihuela and trumpets played by members in sombreros and “trajes,” the ornate costumes of Mexican musicians who play the traditional music.

Supporters are trying to raise $4,000 in small donations for instruments and uniforms.

“There seems to be a lot of interest in this from our students,” school band director Chris Holt said.”
