One of them is a yearly spectacle exhibiting talented and enthusiastic spectators, participants, athletes and commentators with tons of free prizes. A five-hour showcase of fun, play and games influences audience members to stay past midnight. Another element drawing spectator attention is noise. The pandemonium of megaphones, conversations and action never settles down. Perhaps the biggest reason for the enormous attendance level is the opportunity to participate.
Students cheer for their friends at one event and express their talents at another event.
At last year's MidKnight Madness, over 1,300 students sat in the bleachers and cheered for their friends. Some shot wild free throws. Some raced across the gym. Some announced the next event. Some performed impressive dunks.
