HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WILDCAT BAND...

"Mr. Williams brings out the best from these kids, and then some. You look over expecting to see a group of graduating high school students and the amazing sound is coming from middle schoolers!
​(As a parent, I'm thinking, 'hey, it's approaching their bedtime, and they're doing an encore.')"
-Philip Stoddard, former Mayor of South Miami, 2010-2020
