Discussion She almost ruined a proposal.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

Can we give it up to unsung heroes in the back. That music worked like repellent for her.

u/AccurateJerboa 15h ago

I fucking looooved that they just started playing and drowning her out. 

I love mariachi bands, and it's incredibly special to get one for an occasion 

I would've been crying and watching

And expensive. $1,000 an hour.

I live in Texas and a lot of the high schools have Mariachis that you can book for a low fee because they enjoy the practice playing for people and they’re usually very good.

My husband is a professional musician— his high school mariachi band is how he got his start after he and his parents immigrated here from Mexico, so now he helps to fund them at underprivileged schools.

That's very cool! I love it when people decide to pay it forward.

u/c3fm 7m ago

Yeah, can confirm. When I was in Mariachi in high school we got rented out for cheap to help fund our program and we all just loved performing so win win

I apologize for not having perfect grammar in a Reddit comment.

Are you always such an asshole over things that don’t matter? Did that apostrophe destroy your ability to understand what I was saying or did it just make you upset?

u/Wooden_Cicada8880 10h ago

Honestly? With how many talented people are in the group I’d say it’s deserved. Also Tickets for a concert range from a few hundred to scalped prices of thousands depending on the artist. You are literally hiring a band to a private event where you are their source of income, not multiple ticket sales. It makes sense that they’d be expensive.

u/Successful_Buffalo_6 6h ago

I know of a college that has a mariachi band that performs at events like this for a very, very low fee.

u/briancatams 6h ago

4-5 professionals loading up gear and travelling to set-up and perform for an hour for 1k is not expensive.

Lmao what is this gif? A mash-up of 2 sources or an actual Star Trek moment?

That’s Q. Shit gets weird when he’s around.

u/KiriNotes 13h ago

One of the best TNG episodes is called "Deja Q", and involves Q being banished from the Continuum and stripped of his powers as a punishment.

He seeks shelter aboard the Enterprise and has to essentially learn what it is to be human, which gains another layer when Data (an android) is assigned to keep Q out of trouble and teach him how to cope with his newfound existence.

It's very good. I won't spoil anything, but that gif is very much from the episode.

12

u/I_upvote_downvotes 11h ago

Obviously with the final scene kind of baiting you into thinking it's the last you'll see of Q being ridiculous and obnoxious towards the crew. And then he teleports in with a mariachi band and goes OH CONTRAIRE CAPITAINE.

(Anyways 10/10 show. Skip season 1 maybe.)

Maybe a hot take but Trek was at it's best when they told Roddenberry to sit down.

u/BlackLakeBlueFish 11h ago

One of the best TV episodes ever!

"There are creatures in the universe who would consider you the ultimate achievement, android. No feelings, no emotions, no pain... And yet you covet those qualities of humanity. Believe me, you're missing nothing. But if it means anything to you, you're a better human than I."

“You weren’t like that before the beard.”

Imagine a race of immortal, omnipotent beings - basically Gods. But instead of lording over the cosmos, one of them spends all his time coming up with over-the-top ways to annoy Captain Picard.

That's Q. Shit gets weird.

The animated series Lower Decks has a moment when Q shows up, and a character tells him to go away and they're not dealing with his bullshit, go see Picard.

If that's canon Star Trek? Then it sure sounds like Starfleet standard procedure is to blow Q off and tell him to go bother Picard, which he inevitably does.

u/Subject-Succotash 14h ago

You can’t. If you see an unexpected mariachi band you know something is happening. They don’t just show up somewhere, instrument in hand, dressed to impress for no reason.

u/sashikku 12h ago

My friend’s uncles and aunt are all in a mariachi—going to his house for family get togethers is a surreal experience because EVERYONE can sing and EVERYONE can play some type of instrument. It’s like walking into a drunken musical. One night it was about midnight and his great uncle was sitting outside by himself singing Gracias a La Vida while strumming the guitar—I stood around the corner almost in tears because it was so beautiful.

u/RosieTheRedReddit 6h ago

I saw a TikTok of a concert venue where the final act had cancelled and organizers booked a mariachi band as a last minute replacement. Crowd was totally surprised and they went wild for it. If you need a 9-piece band like tonight, call your local mariachis, they will be there in 3 hours.

u/Shrek1067 14h ago

I love how she didn’t even recognize they were a mariachi band until they started playing… the outfits alone didn’t stand out enough for her 🤦🏼‍♂️

u/DogBarf00 13h ago

I see you have never been to your grandpa’s funeral and now associate a mariachi band with that pain.

u/shipsake 12h ago

My grandfather’s funeral was at Arlington National Cemetery so, no I don’t. Sorry that it brings up those memories for you though.

u/LeSad3900 12h ago

I love Chopin, Beethoven, and Bach. I hate Mariachi, but I'd hate it even if somehow it was a music style that developed contemporaneous to these classical giants in Europe.

We're 1000% allowed to have preferences that happen to fall along specific cultural lines. Just don't be an asshole about it.

2

u/WillowYouIdiot 12h ago

A neighbor just had a quinceañera behind my mom's house last night, and she remarked at how upbeat and happy the music was since they had live music. It's definitely not her normal genre, but she said she was outside happily tapping along to it.

u/TastyFace79 11h ago

Can’t say I hate mariachi bands. But when they show up on your 7am morning commute on the subway in NYC it’s really just a matter of bad timing.

u/Early-Fortune2692 12h ago

Right?!

I was working in the middle east and a guy noticed my hispanic last name and immediately told me a story how he was in LA and heard this music he'd never heard before and had to search the source.

He turned the corner and saw it was a mariachi band. He was really excited and animated about it so I asked him, "When did you visit?" He said, "Oh, about thirty years ago."

Wow! 😁

u/IcyConsideration7062 9h ago

I actually love mariachi music. However, in our area it's often accompanied by truly awful aggressive and continuously repetitive staccato trumpet or by continuous incredibly loud electric bass that shakes the neighboring houses and windows. Until the neighbor who kept holding parties with this moved away I started to really despise it. The band in the post sounds beautiful though.

1

u/Bear_faced 8h ago

Reminds me of the episode of House where he auditions and then hires a mariachi band to play some event that’s important to Cuddy, and Wilson tells her thinking it’s a prank, when it turns out Cuddy genuinely loves mariachi music and it wasn’t a prank at all. Well, except maybe on Wilson. The ultimate anti-prank.

They were far out enough that there's no way they'd have heard this lady.
