Penn State Thon Soundslide
Each year, thousands of Penn State students join together to put on a 46-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon to fight childhood cancer. Donations go to the Four Diamonds Fund,which helps families whose children have cancer and are being treated at Penn State’s Hershey Medical Center.
A new line dance is created each year and is performed hourly to help keep the dancers motivated. Here’s a soundslide I created at this year’s event (which took place Feb. 20-22) for my multimedia class. You will see I experimented half-way through with a technique I’ve been waiting to try for quite some time. I’ll post more soundslides later of additional photos from Thon and from the two photojournalism classes I took this year.
