Donny Burns & the 3rd Degree Rocks The Stage At Midnight

From classics like “Life is a Highway” to “Seven Nation Army,” Donny Burns & the 3rd Degree kept the crowd dancing and the pledges holding the signs. Yes, “Mr. Brightside” was played.

Slides Of Strength

At about the 2 a.m. mark, slides of strength took place. It was definitely messy, but the dancers enjoyed a break from their feet.

Lots Of Line Dancing

The number of times “Dancer Relations captains report to the stage” was played over the speaker was forgotten in the depths of the night. However, the entire Bryce Jordan Center came alive each time. For a refresher on the line dance lyrics, check out the song in full here.

Flavor Wave Band Performance

A group of elementary school friends from West Chester formed a band called Flavor Wave, and the group made it all the way to THON. With a combination of originals and covers, the band brought the crowd alive. “Kilby Girl” personally revived us.
