Everyone loves a good Penn State dad. But a Penn State dad at THON? Magic.
THON wouldn’t be THON without those famous five words shaking the BJC every so often. But for “morale captains, to the stage!” to work, it takes work.
“The floor has reached maximum accommodation. People on the floor now are slow to get off because they don’t want to leave. Right now we are waiting for others to get off of the floor in order to let more people on.”
THON is an interactive experience, and having everyone work together, whether it be a line dance or singalong, is key in keeping up the dancers' spirits and letting them know the crowd is with them. Playing songs everyone knows is a great strategy. With that being said, some of us would prefer a curveball thrown every now and then
When the 90's ended we all thought (and hoped) that fanny packs were a thing of the past. This weekend, however, they are alive and well in the BJC. Fanny packs are a staple of the classic THON outfit, where else would you keep your snacks and tennis ball? (I mean, maybe a drawstring back, but who am I to judge?) Anyway, some THONners really brought their fanny pack A game this weekend, and here's a list!
For those of you who're attending your first THON this year and need to find a way to explain the pandemonium to parents who just can't understand, fret no longer. We've crafted the perfect letter to help you get the message across. It's as simple as copy and paste.
