Katie Magiera — Orange Team, 2009

This is my second time participating in CUDM, and it has (so far) proved to be even better than the first. As a senior, it means even more that so many of my friends are dancing, moraling, and visiting during my last chance to take part in such an amazing event. All of the festivities have been fantastic, and for that I thank the entire steering team for putting it all together. If you’re reading this and haven’t visited yet, please do! We have so much energy; it’d be a shame if haven’t experienced it yet. FTK!

Caroline Corley – Red Team, 2012

I have to admit, I was really nervous coming into this. I’ve been pleasantly surprised, though! This has been so amazing! I’m an avid watcher of 30 Rock, and Judah Friedlander just stopped by to show his support for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. I might have freaked out just a little bit and taken more than one picture with him… I’m having a great time with my friends – reppin’ Haus of Flannel! Also, my team just won the toga contest, which makes me feel somewhat accomplished. Thank you to everyone who has donated his/her time, money, and chocolate milkshakes! It’s much appreciated! If you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet, you definitely should!

FTK!!! I’m going to try to be a little witty, but I’m not sure how well that’s going to work out… It’s been a while. So far, the marathon has been great! A couple of line dances, some great music—we just had what I assume was ‘90s hour and before that a ‘60s hour. There are so many people here, many more than last year. As a veteran, I thought “Hey! This is going to be a piece of cake, I survived last year I can do it again.” Alas, while I think I will make it, I’m already physically breaking a bit… Now I just have to wait for the next food break… Hi mom! (And sara and lyly and tequila!!!) Ooooh “Human” by the Killers just came on- gotta boogie!

CU Dance Marathon 9 Has Officially Begun!

Jake Glaser of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation was here to get all 85 of our dancers pumped up and ready to begin their 28-hour-long journey through dance marathon. After a few stretches, a team cheering competition, and a lesson in this year's amazing line dance they were all set! CUDM 9 was on!
Please feel free to post comments, shout-outs, and responses to dancer posts here. Stay tuned for the next 28 hours and we guarantee we'll have something great for you to look at here!
