Here are some highlights from the 2010 Hokie Hi Week:
Thursday, August 19, Hypnotist Tom DeLuca performed in Burruss Auditorium to hypnotize volunteers and even people in the audience! He actually hypnotized me to do some pretty funny things during our Homecoming Spirit Week, but I won't bore you with those embarrassing details.
Friday, August 20, at night there was a huge movie on the Drillfield under the stars. This year it was Ironman 2 -- gotta love a free movie with thousands of your new closest friends!
Saturday, August 21, the New Cadet Parade was on the Drillfield in the morning, followed by a Barn Bash in McComas Gym at night for a welcome to Blacksburg's southern cooking , dancing, games, and prizes.
Sunday, August 22, was my favorite event -- the Hokie Hi Welcome Picnic in Lane Stadium! Over 8,000 students attended this event the day before classes start! You get to run through the tunnel the football team goes through that leads you into the football stadium, walk the length of the field, and eat in the South End Zone while meeting coaches and team members from men's and women's varsity and club sports, the dance team, and the Marching Virginians.
Not to mention, the first week of classes is free week for group exercise classes in McComas Hall and War Memorial Gym.
