While You Were Sleeping: What Happened At THON 2022 Overnight

If you were one of the many people keeping the vibes alive in the Bryce Jordan Center during the first night of THON 2022, we applaud you. However, if you opted for a refreshing slumber to reset, we don’t blame you, either.

If you were among the lucky folks who hit the hay, here’s what you missed during the first overnight shift of the weekend.

‘Park Hill’ Throws It Back

The duo went with some early 2000s TV show anthems of “I Found A Way,” “What’s New, Scooby Doo?,” and the Sponge-Bob classic, “Ripped Pants.” Needless to say, they killed it.

Slides Of Strength

THON broke out the classic ‘Slides of Strength’ early Saturday morning to get the dancers going. Hopefully, they enjoyed the much-deserved boost.

The DJ got the crowd going wild with some EDM mixes that kept spirits high and dancers groovin’. The highlight of the set came when “Dosk: The Bear” (Dosk’s mascot) stormed onto the stage to pump up the crowd.

Urban Dance Troupe Breaks It Down

The hip-hop student dance group showed everyone up, dancing to popular hits from Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and Nicki Minaj.

M O P
