Tufts Senior Gala

Last Wednesday at 9/7c, after an all new NCIS, stay tuned for the emotional conclusion of the GrooveBoston Spring Tour. You’ll never [have] guess[ed] what [already] happened next in this non-stop, special 3-hour Mobile Club event. Brought to you with limited interruptions by Slap Chop.

OK. Shut it down. We’re talking about the Tufts Senior Gala. Besides, we’d never be on after NCIS.

Tradition dictates that the Tufts University Senior Gala is held in the fabled Imperial Ballroom of the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. We’ve rocked those arching ceilings and majestic balconies many-a-time, and we’ll be the first to admit that the ballroom is quite imperial indeed. It’s the kind of place where a medieval prince could walk in wearing full robes and you’d just be standing there like, “Oh, what up, Prince… you totally belong here.”

However, that information matters less than a cow’s opinion because this year Tufts decided to move the Gala to the Boston Sheraton — still a great space, but slightly less fancy in its own right. So, for our last show of the Spring Tour season, Jamie Engle and the Tufts senior crew gave us the challenge of going a little above-and-beyond to make up for the change of venue.

We love it when that happens.

The GB team rolled in that morning with a 24′ truck packed to the gills with gear. After a long build, that gear had turned into a Mobile Club that would have crumbled the Park Plaza to the ground: full stage lighting set with truss verticals, massive audio, and a blue glow with GrooveBoston logos around the entire perimeter of the room. Even the Sheraton was worried that things would start falling off the walls once the party-hungry Tufts Seniors got going.

I bet you can guess what happened next. Tufts sure can tear it up. Let’s just say it left me here for the night:

Thanks to all of our awesome Mobile Clubbers out there for another CRAZY Spring Tour. We hope you had as much fun as we did.

Rest up for the Fall — we’ve already got some new tricks up our sleeve.
