Summary

HR360 is a resolution honoring Mariachi Dos Mil of Johnny Economedes High School in Edinburg, Texas, for its outstanding achievements and contributions to the cultural fabric of the community. The resolution highlights the success of the mariachi group, which has been instrumental in promoting musical talent and self-esteem among young Texans since its establishment in 2000. Recognizing the band's impact, it acknowledges their numerous accolades in local and statewide competitions, including their victory in the Roma Independent School District mariachi competition and a commendable second place at the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza.
