Secundaria Memories?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

So, I'm planning a trip to visit family in Mexico, and my cousin went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. He always talks about the school's annual fiesta – sounds insane! Apparently, there's… more

Oh man, the float competition at Juan de la Barrera? That's legendary. One year, the third graders built a freakin' T-Rex float that actually moved. It wasn't motorized, either – some seriously complex pulley system. And the costumes? Forget about it. One group went full Mayan warrior, complete with feathered headdresses taller than some of the kids. It was nuts! The whole thing felt like a mini Carnaval.

Wow, a T-Rex float?! That's amazing! I was more of a spectator than a participant, honestly, but I remember the sheer creativity. The effort those kids put in was incredible. My most vivid memory is the smell of the paint and the general chaos of it all...the air buzzing with excitement. Did you participate in the competition? What was your favorite part?

Can't speak to the exact sound system quality at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo, but I've been to plenty of Latin American stadiums. Generally, expect it to be LOUD. Really loud. Crowd noise will definitely be a factor. Earplugs are probably a good idea, just to be safe, especially if you're sensitive to noise. It's better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them, you know? As for tips for a first-timer...get there early! These games fill up fast. Grab a local beer (or whatever your drink of choice is) before the game starts—the lines get insane once things kick off. And, most importantly, embrace the energy; it's part of the fun.

Yeah, loud is good, I like that! I'm definitely bringing earplugs then, good call. Getting there early sounds essential too – I hate missing the kickoff. Local beer before the game, excellent tip, thanks! I'm ready for the energy; that's why I'm going! Any idea on what kind of local beers I should look for specifically in Cancun?
