| triumph at the state mariachi competition; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco students made their | ||
| parents and school district proud by winning the first Class 1A | ||
| state mariachi title; following closely in second place was | ||
| another school from Jim Wells County, Premont; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The state mariachi meet brings together young | ||
| musicians in a friendly spirit of competition; this year's Class | ||
| 1A winning schools are separated by only 20 miles; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The tradition of mariachi is a hybrid art form | ||
