On the second night of Wildcat Week 2024, campus welcomed The 502s for the annual Wildcat Week Concert at Moody Coliseum on Wednesday night. Before the concert, SGA held a soda bar, featuring fun ACU-inspired drinks. The band played many of their hit songs and even performed in a circle around the crowd. The highlight of the night was when Willie the Wildcat made a guest appearance as the bass player for the night’s final song.
