Gym Class Heroes kicked off Homecoming weekend with their concert in the Towson Center on Thursday, Oct. 11. More than 2,000 tickets were sold for the event, which featured acts, DJ Abilities and The Pack as openers.
Throughout the night, Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy interacted with those in attendance, including inviting a young lady from the audience on stage before the band launched into hit single "Cupid's Chokehold."
The band took a breather during the show to allow rapper Tyca to briefly perform, but they returned to the stage, closing the night with the song "Clothes Off!" The band leapt from the stage and continued with the song as they moved through the mass of shocked concertgoers.

Using the benefits of his electronic media and film major at his disposal, Towson alumnus Chris LaMartina, class of 2007, crafted the award-winning film "Book of Lore," which he later premiered at the Charles Theatre downtown on Oct. 22, 2007.
LaMartina conceived the film with former Towson student Jimmy George as the two talked about how their hometown of Catonsville was rife with myths, tales and legends, which consequently provided ample movie material.
It was filmed over a six-month period in 2007 for roughly $8,000 and would soon go on to win Best Horror Feature at ShockerFest International Film Festival.
After the Baltimore premiere in October, "Book of Lore" finally had its Towson premiere in February with a screening in Van Bokkelen followed by a question and answer session.
