Four Diamonds child and YouTube sensation Tucker Haas returned to the THON stage to sing "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, accompanied by some great shuffling moves.
As our Dan Vecellio wrote, "the body needs a spark plug to give its internal battery the juice to push through the final hours of THON, and dancer mail is that spark plug." We interviewed a handful of dancers shortly after mail call, to find out just what got them ticking. What's the best piece of dancer mail you received?
Dancer mail is a time for laughs and tears as dancers get things to take their minds off of their aching and tired bodies. But, one dancer received mail from his girlfriend that ailed all that cured him.
There's no reason to search for talent when it's staring you right in the eye, which has been the case for most of THON 2012 as various local artists have had the opportunity to perform on the BJC stage, and they've kept the energy level inside the Bryce Jordan Center sky-high.
I was able to catch up with our dancers John Tecce (Nittany Nation) and Ally Greer (Penn State Marketing Assocation) during what was the middle of the night for most people. But for our two representatives, nothing that was happening outside mattered. Both claimed to have no idea on the time, but they probably knew that THON had crossed the threshold into Sunday.
Saturday night's THON pep rally was billed as a whiteout. The whiteout failed, but not much else about the spectacle did especially the Men's Gymnastics squad who won the event, ending football's two year reign of dominance.
