Wildcat Dance Club member, sophomore Jackie Martinez, said, “My favorite part of being in the rally was being together as a family.”
Freshman Emma Thompson, who experienced a rally for the first time, said, “I actually liked the rally, it was different than I thought because they were active with the students. I thought it was also fun when they did the class calls.”
The rally concluded with the traditional class calls, the REV fight song performed by cheer and band, and the Alma Mater.
