Wildcat Country

Sotomayor celebrating the 79th birthday of our U. S. Air Force. Our oldest Air Force veteran and youngest AFJROTC Cadet celebrated by using a sabre to cut the ceremonial cake.

On our game against the Holmes Huskies, we debut our very first trailer! "Big Cat" has a cab and is ready to haul instruments and equipment!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to making this milestone happen. Here's to many miles, many performances, and lots of great memories ahead!
