Coyotes Mariachi Eyes Carnegie Hall Stage
Uvalde, TX · September 20, 2026
A cloud-filtered Sunday morning settles across the county, offering a quiet stretch before school and board meetings resume tomorrow. If your afternoon is open, the courtroom drama down on North Street takes its final curtain call today.
The Lead
When the school board convenes on Monday evening, trustees will consider a landmark opportunity for the local fine arts program: sending the award-winning Mariachi Los Coyotes to New York City to perform at Carnegie Hall. Fine Arts Director Albert Martinez will present the travel proposal, which outlines an out-of-state trip from June 8 to June 12 next summer at no cost to the district. An appearance on one of the world's most prestigious concert stages would mark a major milestone for the student musicians and directors who have earned statewide accolades for their craft. Trustees will review the logistical framework and travel policies during the open session, giving the community its first look at fundraising targets and performance schedules for Manhattan.
