To help work out the kinks, and just for fun, I am going to do a practice round for Locura De Marzo this coming Friday. Two songs (That aren't in the tournament) square off against each other based on student vote. You are welcome to participate! Voting opens on Friday morning!

His 3 older brothers: ages 8, 6, and 3 are just as excited as their parents to have him join the family!
Thank you all for your song suggestions so far! We have received a lot of interest so far from classrooms across the U.S. and I am very excited about bringing Spanish students together from across the country to participate! As a reminder, I will post a bracket of 16 songs popular Spanish songs, and then two songs will "battle" each day. I will post youtube videos of those songs here on my website, along with an online poll for students to vote on which song they liked better. The tournament will last 3 weeks in March and end up with one grand winner! Here are some additional rules: |
