Dia de Los Muertos 3



I returned to the museum at the end of the afternoon...



...because the appearance of a teenage mariachi band was promised in front of the altar.



Meanwhile, the pageant participants...



...continued their feverish rehearsals.



The local teenage mariachi band was called "Sol Del Desierto"...



...and they can be hired for all occasions from weddings to quinceaneras at (760) 323-3778.



Not only were they a great sounding group...



...but they were also revolutionary.



It was the first time I've ever seen females in a mariachi band, and their light, pretty voices when vocalising were a beautiful contrast to the usual middle-aged male yodel.



Miss Tina and the other spirits probably quite enjoyed themselves.
