I hope this message finds you well! I’d like to kindly request a brief shout-out during the Espectacular Concert, if the opportunity arises and you find it appropriate.

There are special guests in the audience visiting all the way from Kazakhstan. They are currently spending time at the University of Arizona campus and were very excited to attend the concert to experience Tucson’s rich cultural traditions. It would mean a great deal to them — and to us — if they could be warmly welcomed as part of the evening’s celebration.

If there’s a natural moment to include it, a simple mention such as:

“We’d like to give a warm Tucson welcome to some special guests in the audience tonight — all the way from Kazakhstan! They’re visiting the University of Arizona and are here to experience the best of Tucson’s culture — and that, of course, means world-class mariachi!”

Thank you so much for considering this request. We’re truly grateful for all the work that goes into making this event a vibrant celebration of music and community.
