Century High School student mariachi band needs help to buy their outfits

A new mariachi band created at Century High School in Santa Ana is fundraising to purchase mariachi outfits for students.

A GoFundMe page has been created to help the local students get the necessary equipment and outfits needed to bring the new mariachi band to life! It will cost just about $900 per student, so they’ve started a fundraiser to ensure all members of the band can purchase the outfits.

“Century High School in Santa Ana started a mariachi band with a group of kids that love playing canciones of their padres. The majority of the students are newcomers to our country and feel a sense of inclusivity by belonging to something like this,” reads the fundraiser.
