Thanks so much for responses guys!

Lol, I think that was part of the gimmick- "The only female mariachi band in Canada"
(They are actually quite good at what they do). They are definitely pro enough to know what to do and not do with a mic haha.

I think I will try to record everything in the same room- given that they are all acoustic instruments.

What about using my LDC's? Nobody mentioned even trying those, so it makes me wonder...

I definitely think the guitarron (thanks, leddy!) and guitar need some extra consideration, being that they're the subtlest instruments in the group.

And bongo, that is exactly the way that they do setup (from audience L to R)- violins 1, 2 and 3 (with the 3rd violin being the main vocalist).. then the guitarron, then acoustic guitar (also another lead vocalist), then trumpet.
