It had been a while since the First Class team had hosted an under 21 club event. Our network was a little outdated, as many of our regular patrons were attending college. Due to the city of Boston becoming very strict on underage club parties, the First Class team decided to throw down for our underage network one last time.
The Finale was hosted at Mantra, where we hosted a Chic Rendezvous months earlier. We signed MTV's DJ G-Bello to DJ the event, along with First Class DJ's Matt Hurley and Mike Nelson. The up and coming group "AER" and rapper "Jay Bird"were signed to perform as well.

Jay Bird
It was about 30 minutes before Jay Bird was supposed to perform (opening for AER), and Derek realized that there was a problem with the microphones. Only one cordless mic was working for the upstairs sound system. Mantra management failed to fix the problem, so Jay Bird & AER were unable to perform. It was refreshing to see many new faces at the Finale. The party was a good way to end our under-21 journey. Stay tuned for First Class concerts..
