Musical Trío Estrellas de Oro will be starting at C Gate then move their way towards D Gate to greet Raider fans. They came together in 1984 and it was during a performance at a party that they got their name when someone said to them "You play and sing very well, you are stars." At another party people said you are worth "gold." So they put both words together which translates into Estrellas de Oro and three professional and talented individuals have kept playing since then receiving much acclaim wherever they perform.
