That’s a wrap on the first day of THON Weekend!
Opening night of THON 2024 was action-packed, featuring a new line dance, a performance from WALK THE MOON, and lots of bubbles. As always, our photographers were at the Bryce Jordan Center to capture all the action.
Let’s take a look back at Friday’s events through some of our favorite photos.
Dancers arrived at the Bryce Jordan Center with tons of support from family and friends.
