UTECH FINAL FETE REVIEW

Rating 1 out of 5

On Friday, May 4, at almost midnight the gathering of patrons outside the Faculty of Engineering's Parking Lot was at least twice the size of that inside the venue.The DJ, however, attempted to entertain the scantily distributed attendees who stood aimlessly waiting for the party to kick off in full gear.

 The highly advertised and anticipated UTech – Final Fete had the potential of being the talk of the town if it was only about the ambiance which included the spacing and the available refreshments.  There were a few flaws, though, which caused the party quality to not be as high as was expected and the blame rests with the more than one group of persons.

The established law pertaining to parties appears to be strongly enforced and as such the question is asked as to why patrons still decide to reach the party at 1 and 2 in the morning when they know that it will be locked off by 2:30 which was the case at the Final Fete when members of the security forces came at a few minutes after 2:30 am to end the party, leaving patrons in a disappointing and low mood. They reluctantly strolled out of the venue arguing that they only got half an hour of their money, that they wanted a refund , that it was the worst  party ever, etc …… This is a fault and very bad habit of Jamaican party goers.

The promoters of UTech Final Fete and other upcoming parties need to bear in mind the type of DJs they have to play. As DJs follow one after the other, it is unwise to be starting over the party. So each time a new DJ takes over the warm up songs start to play again resulting in the energy being dropped instead of being maintained.
