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.

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
