he Bands: Three bands performed at Dance Marathon throughout the night — Dizzy Balloon, The Jakes and Vance Brown.They def- initely rocked the Arrillaga TAlumni Center. After each set, the crowd would chant, “One more song! One more song!” and the bands happily caved in, con- tenting the crowd with another soulful melody or head-banging tune.

Fighting for a Good Cause: The Dance Marathon-ers marched onto the dance floor, prepared to support a cause they knew would benefit people halfway around the world. In the weeks preceding Dance Marathon, they had raised money for FACE AIDS, a non-profit organization that is dedi- cated to fighting AIDS by building sanitary healthcare facilities in Africa. By the end of Dance Marathon, the money had been counted — Stanford students had con- tributed more than $130,000 to a cause worth as exciting as drunk Jenga.
