The Blanks

The Blanks
A cappella and Comedy Group

This quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music have appeared on the television show “Scrubs” as ‘Ted’s Band’ where, as luck would have it, they had to pretend to be a quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music. But “Scrubs” isn’t the only television show that makes this group sing. Come join in the laughs as The Blanks harmoniously jump from song to TV theme song to musical medleys with talking toys — that’s right, four grown men who still play with dolls! action figures. It’s sure to be a comical evening had by all.

Alma College received a $150,000 grant from the National Science Foundation in August 2009 for research that could eventually lead to the development of more effective drugs to treat and prevent certain kinds of influenza, including human infections of swine and avian flu. "This project provides an opportunity for students to get involved in important laboratory research," says faculty member Jeff Turk, principal investigator.
