The 'Mariachi Lobos de Elsie Allen High School', North Bay's first-ever student mariachi band, has been selected to perform at Disneyland on June 11, alongside two local high school marching bands. This historic opportunity comes with a significant financial burden, as the total cost for 90 students is $72,000. Many of these students are children of agriculture and manufacturing workers, making fundraising crucial. Each student must raise about $800 to cover travel, meals, and hotel expenses. So far, parents have raised nearly $30,000, but additional support is needed due to limited resources from the Santa Rosa City Schools. Band Director Efrain Nava emphasizes the students' dedication and passion for mariachi music, reflecting their cultural heritage. The band hopes to showcase their talents and pride at Disneyland, marking a significant milestone for the community. Donations can be made online or via check to Elsie Allen High School, with the memo line indicating 'for music dept.'
