1) What is the Boogie Steps Relay?
2) What is the T-Shirt cutting contest?
Boogie Steps relay is a fun dance contest. Part of the late night shenanigans.
T-shirt cutting contest is a parade style, audience judged, fashion contest where the clothes are made up of cut up dance-a-thon t-shirts. It’s pretty awesome.
