The Wildcat Marching Band provides a pep band for ev- ery away game in the Southeastern Confer- ence and travels with the full band to one away game each year. In addition, the Wild- cat Marching Band has participated in nu- merous post-season bowl games, BOA Re- gional Championships, a Presidential Inau- guration, a World Series, and the 2008 Ryder Cup. The basketball pep band was recently a part of the 2011 NCAA Final Four and the 2012 NCAA Basketball tournament where UK won their 8th National Championship. Marching Band (MUC 190) is a one credit hour class that rehearses Mondays, Wednes- days and Fridays from 5:30-7:30PM. In addi- tion, the Wildcat Marching Band represents nearly every academic major on campus and is the largest student organization at the University of Kentucky while maintaining some of the highest GPA’s on campus. Sweetheart Majorettes As the first female members to join the University of Kentucky Wildcat Marching Band in 1960, the UK Feature Twirlers and Sweetheart Majorette Twirling line is rich in tradition, excellence, and is comprised of national champion twirlers from all over the United States. Taking pride in being one of the best twirling schools in the SEC, the UK Twirling program loves being a part of the Wildcat Marching Band and representing twirling in front of 70,000+ CATS fans at Common- wealth Stadium. The UK Feature Twirlers and Sweetheart Majorette line also perform at other UK Athletic events, around the Lex- ington community, and compete on the lo- cal, regional, and national level. The University of Kentucky Cheerleading Squad No other college cheerleading squad has dominated the Universal Cheerleaders Associ- ation National Championships like Kentucky. The UK squad has won UCA’s National Col- lege Cheerleading Championship an unprece- dented 24 times (1985, 1987, 1988, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019), more than any other Division IA school. UK’s squad is the only team to win back-to-back championships three times, once in 1987 and 1988, again in 1995 and 1996, and a third time in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Furthermore, UK is the only squad ever to win three, four, five, six, seven and eight championships in a row. UK’s eight year streak of championships was broken in 2003 when the Wildcats finished runner-up to Central Florida. They regained the title in January 2004 and won their third straight in 2006. Central Florida regained the championship in 2007 when UK finished in third place. But the next year, UK came home with its 16th title. The squad generates vocal support and significant enthusiasm for some of the finest athletic programs in the nation. The Wild- cat basketball team is the winningest col- lege basketball program in the nation and has won the NCAA national championship eight times. The squad receives substantial media exposure. Having finished in the top 10 every year since the existence of the UCA National College Championships, each year the UK squad is seen on the ESPN televised Championships Program, which airs at least eight times nationally. In ad- dition, the UK squad is seen on television as every UK basketball game is televised nationally. The squad is frequently the sub- ject of highlight stories by television, ra- dio stations, and newspapers. The squad has been featured on the “CBS Evening News,” Connie Chung’s “Eye to Eye,” the “CBS Morning Show”, in “Southern Living” and “Gentlemen’s Quarterly,” “ESPN the Magazine,” and “Seventeen” maga- zine. The cheerleaders reg- ularly attend University Athletics Association and Alumni Association func- tions. They also represent the University at many charitable and public rela- tions’ events. On the UK campus, UK cheerleaders are rec- ognized as some of the finest athletes in the uni- versity’s sports programs, as intelligent and outgoing students in the classroom, and as public relations ambassadors of the Uni- versity of Kentucky and the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In 1966, Northington and Page became the first African-American football players to enroll at an SEC school and played for the UK freshman team. A year later, Hackett and Hogg followed in their footsteps. On Sept. 23, 1967, Northington played his first varsity game. On Sept. 30, 1967 – a day after Page, his close friend and classmate, passed away follow- ing a tragic accident – Northington became the first African-Amer- ican in an SEC game when UK played Ole Miss. Hackett and Hogg would carry on Northington and Page’s trailblazing legacy, with Hackett becoming the first African-American team captain in any sport at an SEC school in 1969. The Wildcats were honored with four life-sized statues outside Commonwealth Stadium in September of 2016 in correlation with the unveiling of UK’s $45 million practice facility. A native of Louisville and an All- State performer at Thomas Jefferson High School, Nate Northington was recruited by Kentucky Gov. Edward T. Breathitt, University of Kentucky President John W. Oswald and UK football head coach Charlie Brad- shaw to break the Southeastern Conference’s football color barrier. Embracing the opportunity to be a trailblazer and accepting the monu- mental challenges that came with it, Northington signed with UK and en- rolled in 1966. The defensive back spent his first season as a Wildcat as a member of the freshman team before making his varsity debut on Sept. 23, 1967. A week later – and a day following the passing of Greg Page, his close friend and fellow trailblazer – became the first Af- rican-American to play in an SEC game when UK played host to Ole Miss. Northington would later trans- fer to Western Kentucky, but not before encouraging Wilbur Hackett and Houston Hogg to stay and finish the noble work he and Page started. Greg Page, a talented defensive end hailing from Middlesboro, en- rolled at the University of Kentucky in 1966 in the height of the Civil Rights movement. Poised to break the Southeastern Conference color barrier in football, Page played with close friend Nate Northington on the freshman team in his first season before moving up to varsity a year later. Before he could playw in his first game, Page suffered a neck in- jury in a tragic accident in practice on Aug. 22, 1967. Left paralyzed, Page remained in intensive care for the next 38 days – during which Northington often visited Page – be- fore passing away. His passing came one day before Northington became the first African-American to play in an SEC game. Though he was not on the field for the groundbreaking mo- ment, his courage had helped pave the way for it and forever changed the face of sports in the South. Hailing from Louisville, Wilbur Hackett came to the University of Kentucky in 1967 after a stand- out high-school career at Manual, where he was named All State and a Parade Magazine All-American. Heeding Nate Northington’s advice to continue to break racial barriers at UK, Hackett joined the varsity team as a sophomore in 1968. In spite of receiving death threats and needing armed guards for one Southeast- ern Conference road trip, Hackett remained steadfast and became a three-year starter at linebacker. He received Sophomore All-SEC honors in 1968, honorable mention All- SEC recognition as a junior and was Kentucky’s Co-Most Valuable Player as a senior. Even more notably, he became the first African-American team captain in any sport in SEC his- tory in 1969, cementing his legacy as one of the foremost pioneers of racial integration in collegiate ath- letics. Starting his career in Hazard before finishing high school at Da- viess County in Owensboro, Hous- ton Hogg followed in the footsteps of Nate Northington and Greg Page in enrolling at the Universi- ty of Kentucky in 1967. A running back, Hogg lettered for Kentucky in 1969 and 1970 as one of the first African-American football players in the history of the Southeastern Conference. Hogg faced prejudice throughout his career – played during tumultuous times in Amer- ica – but did not let the racism of others deter him from completing his career and graduating from UK. Hogg’s resoluteness and sacrifice were instrumental in paving the way for equality at the University of Ken- tucky and in both the SEC and col- lege sports nationwide.
