A Rio Grande Valley high school mariachi group is taking center stage at one of the nation's most prestigious performance halls.

McAllen High School's Mariachi Oro were invited by the Texas Music Company to perform at New York's Carnegie Hall on June 18.

The group is currently working on raising funds. They have an online fundraiser with the goal of raising $7,500 that'll go toward travel expenses.

A total of 25 students are going on the six-day trip. 

"We are very excited, very humbled," Head Director Alex Trevino said. "The most beautiful thing is to see the kids out there representing their culture y la música mexicana qué es la más bonita del el mundo."
