Mexican Cowboy
As the Mexican cowboy dances, Mexican music blares out in the background. The song that plays is a familiar tune. People in the crowd looked very amused. No one looked spiritless. It was so loud that you couldn't here the person next to you.
Some of the audience had constructive things to say. "What is love" said Thomas Denissen an 8th grader at Bay View Middle school. The people in the audience also liked how he wore cowboy attire and twirled around the lasso just like a cowboy. Thomas also gave it two thumbs up.
