PB combines Spring Fling and Fountain Day

Program Board announced Sunday that Spring Fling and Fountain Day will be combined this year to create “Fountain Fling,” an all-day event to take place on the Mount Vernon campus.

PB said the event was moved to the Mount Vernon campus after they learned that “the Smith Center would not be available as a rain site for Spring Fling due to scheduled construction projects on the building,” according to a press release.

The event will feature a concert complete with a headlining band, which PB said has yet to be determined. PB said they will work together with the Mount Vernon Programming Council to put on the event.

“Fountain Fling is a simple and spectacular way for both organizations to work together logistically, combine resources, overcome challenges, and create a great new event for GW students,” said PB Parties Co-Chair Liz Kramer in a press release.

MVPC Coordinator Maureen Logan said she feels the event will be better because the two organizations are working together to plan it.

“As students of GW, members of PB and PC are determined and resourceful. Fountain Fling will be amazing. Period,” Logan said. “This experience has really bonded our two organizations together. Working with PB has certainly been a highlight of my senior year.”

The event will take place on April 25.

Gym Class Heroes drummer Matt McGinley spoke about the band’s college tour and his band’s upcoming album, before performing Saturday night at the Smith Center.

The Gym Class Heroes, an alternative hip-hop band best known for the songs “Cupids Chokehold” and “Clothes Off,” are performing Saturday night as the headliner for Program Board’s Spring Fling event.

McGinley said GW is GCH’s second stop on their college tour. The band arrived this morning from Daytona, Fla. where they played for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University last night.

“The college tours are always incredibly fun because, I mean, we are playing respectively to kids that are kind of around our same age which is cool,” said McGinley in an interview with The Hatchet.
