SANTA BARBARA, Calif. --

High school just isn't really over until the senior prank. This year, a group of seniors in Santa Barbara decided to go with a musical theme.

The group of students at Santa Barbara High School hired a mariachi band to follow their principal around. The musicians were there when Principal John Becchio arrived at his office at 7:30 a.m. and trailed him through the halls providing a soundtrack to his day.

Video of the prank was posted on the school district's website and it was said that the prank delighted students and staff.
