I was so excited," recalled Aubrey, who is now studying business with a minor in music performance at the University of Arizona."It was such an honor." Having performers from Mariachi Vargas and other big-name artists lead the workshops has been a signature of the conference, modeled initially on an event held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Albuquerque event, though, had workshops but no education conference element, said Dancil.
But it was her and Mariachi Aztlán's shot at last year's Espectacular that stands out as the biggest event of Aubrey's high school mariachi career. Aubrey got a chance to sing"Blue Bayou" for Ronstadt one other time, at a small gathering at the Arizona Inn a couple of days after Ronstadt spoke at the 2023 Tucson Festival of Books in March.
