Josue, Jose and Daniel

Located at Tigers High School are three boys with incredible talent, who have played multiple times at different occasions such as the LULAC for the Dia de los Muertos set up, and Prom proposals that students at LBHS have coordinated. They started in the garage and have grown in such little time, along with their singer Frolian Aceves they have come far to become a popular grupo in Los Banos, Ca. I’ve interviewed Josue Valdez, Daniel Alvarado, and Jose Quezada who are seniors at Los Banos High School.

Josue V: “The band was a thing before I had joined, I texted Danny and we practiced a few times.. then joined the band. Afterwards we did a few gigs and Frolian then  joined,  finally Jose joined the band, and it’s been the best it has been since the beginning.”
