McAllen High School

Over the holiday break, the final round of the TMEA All-State Mariachi Audition process took place and we are excited to announce that our very own, McAllen HS Junior, Jeykob López, earned 🥇1st Chair Guitar in the Entire State of Texas out of 450 guitarrists that began the initial process! What an extraordinary accomplishment as only 18 All-State Mariachi musicians are selected each year and of those, only 2 guitars make it in! What’s more impressive is that this talented young man has only been playing the guitar for 2 years & had no mariachi or guitar experience until high school! To earn that 1st chair spot is all that more amazing! Please help us congratulate him on this well-deserved honor! Way to go, Jeykob! 🎶🥇🎶🎸🎶
