During THON's kick-off dinner in 1983, dancers and other guests received a surprise THON blessing on parchment from Pope John Paul II.
Pistol Peg graced the THON stage Saturday afternoon and brought some country songs to change the pace in the BJC.
We met, by complete accident, the ultimate Penn Stater. Perry Bindelglass graduated from Penn State, has attended 8 THONS, and now donates his professional services to the Four Diamonds Fund.
From most original to best overall, we've put together a list of some of the best tutus we've seen at THON 2015 so far.
As a symbol of THON, many look to the line dance to set the mood for THON weekend, as it will be repeated 46 times in 46 hours. However, not all line dances are created equal. Thus I present the unofficial power ranking of the past five years of line dances, from 2011 through 2015.
THON is shrouded in mysteries. Dancers never know what time it is, all but a select group of people know the total before it's revealed, and nobody really knows how the floor pass system works. Another mystery of THON? What the heck is behind the black curtain on the upper level of the BJC behind the stage?
