College Possible Texas is excited to announce a new partnership with the Mariachi Extravaganza, the nation’s premier cultural and musical event for youth mariachi performers. Now in its 31st year, the Mariachi Extravaganza has become a powerful platform for Hispanic and Latinx students to celebrate their heritage, compete nationally, and connect with educational and professional opportunities.
This December, College Possible Texas will join the competition in San Antonio, engaging with hundreds of talented student musicians and their families to provide free support for college access.
Hosted by San Antonio-based Muñoz Public Relations, the Mariachi Extravaganza brings together the best middle school, high school, and college mariachi groups from across the country. In addition to live performances, the weeklong festival includes vocal competitions, masterclasses with top mariachi artists, and community events that showcase the vibrant culture and traditions of mariachi music.
As part of this partnership, College Possible Texas will be on-site throughout the event to build awareness of our programs and resources, including a workshop about researching colleges with Mariachi programs.
Celebrating Identity, Supporting Success
At College Possible Texas, we believe that cultural identity and academic opportunity go hand in hand. Many of the students we serve are first in their families to attend college, and their journeys are shaped by both their ambitions and their roots.
Through our partnership with the Mariachi Extravaganza, we are expanding awareness of the support we provide to students pursuing their higher education dreams. This partnership enables us to be where Texas students already are—on stage, in rehearsal rooms, and alongside families who are invested in their futures.
We’re honored to be part of an event that celebrates heritage, excellence, and self-expression. Whether students are planning for their first year of college or just beginning to explore the idea, our team is here to walk with them every step of the way.
Together with the Mariachi Extravaganza, we’re helping more students tune their talents toward a college degree and a lifetime of opportunity.
