High School Students Hire Mariachi Band to Follow Around Their Principal

1 minute read

Santa Barbara High School students got a mariachi band to follow around the principal as part of a senior prank. Four musicians started trailing the principal John Becchio at 7:30 a.m., according to TODAY.

Turns out it was the second time he got pranked that week. The Los Angeles Times reports that he came into work on Monday to find his belongings had been shrink-wrapped.

Looks like nobody got detention because the school district posted the now-viral video on YouTube in the first place. No word on whether the principal plans to seek revenge on the students before the last day of school tomorrow.
