We all know that March has its NCAA "March Madness", so we started our own music competition bracket in Spanish class during March---MANIA MUSICAL. Classes hear 2 Spanish songs and vote which they liked better. Then votes are compiled from all high school Spanish classes, and a winner is declared. We have reached our "final four". We will be able to declare this year's winner of Mania Musical on April 27. It's so much fun to hear all kinds of music from various Hispanic artists.
