Abigail Garcia, social work junior, reflected on what she took from the experience of the Edinburg North High School (ENHS) Mariachi Oro preparing for the state mariachi competition while on camera in Netflix’s new documentary, “Going Varsity in Mariachi.”

The film, released Aug. 29 on Netflix, was originally filmed throughout the 2020-21 academic school year and focused on the obstacles Garcia and her team overcame to medal at the UIL Mariachi competition. It also documented four seniors and their plans following high school, with Garcia as one of them.

In the film, Garcia goes to San Marcos to tour the campus and audition for Mariachi Nueva Generación. She received a scholarship package from the audition but believes she would have chosen Texas State as her new home regardless.

“I’ve flourished just as a person in every aspect, and I don’t think I’d change it for anything,” Garcia said. “It’s one of the best decisions I think I’ve ever made.”
