Talents groups from all the district’s will perform at Ava Amphitheatre at Casino Del Sol, 5655 W. The second and primary event is the mariachi and folklorico shopcase which will happen May 15. and take place at the school’s auditorium. The event is essentially a beauty pageant but essentially works like your typical prom king and queen crowning. The first portion of the event takes place April 30 at Sunnyside High School with the Reina y Rey de las Estrellas or the “Queen and King of the the Stars”.
The goal is to showcase the talented singers and dancers in the area and to share the Mexican culture through the community, according to the release. The event is hosted in an effort to educate and encourage cultural identity ties to mariachi and ballet folklórico. The group is just one of many local talents you will see over the course of the event. Members of Sunnyside High Schools Mariachi Los Diablitos practice before a performance.
