The Today Show at Arneson River Theater

Our esteem Mariachi instructor, Juan Ortiz, will be headlining the “Campanas de America” performance for the Today Show at the Arneson River Theater on Wednesday, July 29. As you can see by the press release below, anyone interested in being in the audience needs to arrive before 7 a.m., as seating is limited and will be on a first-come, first-seated basis.

I plan on being at the theater by 6:30 a.m. to hand out t-shirts, caps and other promotional items (that need to be worn as soon as I hand them so that we can get the college some national exposure!), and would also like to find some volunteers to hold a PAC banner.

The theater seats 800 people and Campanas de America will be performing on Rosita’s Bridge, adjacent to the outdoor theater.

Oh yes, Pal the Palomino is also scheduled to be at the event!
