Song to Leander to when no one is watching:Absolutely anything by the Jonas Brothers
Why I am FTK: I'm FTK because I believe that the cure to making this world a better place is when everyone comes together to help one another. No family or child should have to go through troubling times, but if there is a way to help others get through it, then we need to do that. At the end of the day we are all in this together, we are family.

Best Song To Dance To While No One’s Watching: Come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners
Why I am FTK: I’m FTK because my family are the most important people in my life and I can’t imagine not having them by my side. I know how scared I would feel if my family couldn’t be as close to me as possible while I was in the hospital, and knowing that I can ease a family’s mind is an incredible feeling. It’s so easy to distance yourself from a situation that you’ve never been in, but giving back is what the Bobcat family is all about.

What is a Morale Captain?
We know 12-hours of dancing can seem pretty daunting. That’s why you have a Morale Captain! These students will be your guide throughout the day of BobcaThon, and pump you all up, or "boost morale," throughout the rest of the year. They will be teaching the Line Dance on stage each hour, bustin' moves with you and the rest of your team, dressin' to impress (in their color, of course), and making sure you're all having the time of your lives!
What is a Color Team?
Although you may have already signed up with a team of your own on Firstgiving, the day of the Dance Marathon you will be placed on a "Color Team." This puts you in a bigger group of the Bobcat Family to bond with, do fundraisers with, participate in color wars with, and much much more! In addition, you are more than welcome, and encouraged, to get decked out in the color that you have been placed with on the day of the dance marathon!
What are Color Wars?
We're all about friendly competition here at BobcaThon, so throughout the year, and the day of DM, you will have MANY opportunities to accumulate Color War points. You can get points throughout the year by attending dancer meetings, hosting fundraisers, fun games, being an involved Dancer and fundraiser with BobcaThon, etc.! The possibilities are endless! Be on the lookout for news about opportunities to earn Color War points for your team!
