Gallery: Willie the Wildcat steals the show during The 502s concert

August 23, 2024 by Daniel Curd and Sarah Thompson

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.
