“It was an incredible opportunity to perform for the entire student body at once,” Cashion said.

While listening to The Nostalgics, Adams House Master John G. “Sean” Palfrey ’67 said he came to YardFest to support Cashion, who is also co-chair of Adams House Committee.

Although Palfrey did not stay very long, he said he stopped by to say hello to students.

“This is where our people are,” Palfrey said.

Some students said they were more enthusiastic about after-parties than the concert.

While students were still dancing to the music of The Cataracs, maintenance crews and College Events Board members began cleaning up Tercentenary Theater.

“We have to put the Yard back together for tomorrow,” said Anthony J. Pacillo, the senior manager of Harvard Yard and freshman dormitories.

Along with students headed toward the continuation of their fun evenings and clean-up crews with a mind on finishing the work, some performers seemed to be in a hurry to end the show as well.

But the band played on. “We’re going to keep playing,” a member of Das Racist said during the group’s set. “Contractual obligation.”
