Performing will be Mariachi Plata, under the direction of Perry Chacon and Daniel Valdez. It is comprised of students from CSN's Mariachi Courses, part of its Fine Arts music curriculum.

Founding directors Fernando and Lupe Gonzalez, led this group of highly accomplished student musicians to the very top of the mariachi world, winning the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza competition for several years in a row. This competition, held in San Antonio, TX is widely acknowledged as the national championship of collegiate mariachi. CSN's Plata is the first band from outside of Texas to win this prestigious title in the 28-year history of the competition.

Free admission for CSN students with their CSN Paw Pass.
