While You Were Sleeping: What Happened At THON 2024 Overnight

Forty-six hours is a long time and perhaps not for everyone, so it’s understandable if you slept during the late hours.

For those who were sleeping, no worries, we have you covered. Here are the Friday night highlights of THON 2024 that you might’ve missed.

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.

Water Socials

One thing THON will guarantee is that you will be beyond hydrated the entire time. Water socials were very popular during the midnight hours.

The Floor Was Mopped

The floor was mopped for 45 minutes and even a line dance happened during it. Big happenings at 6 a.m.
