Who we are:

We are Augmented Fourth, an a capella quartet singing sacred, barbershop, and other music. We formed the quartet during our sophomore year at Hillsdale College, and performed extensively in our time there. Rather than graduate and part ways forever, we plan to stick together! This summer we will drive across the country to share the gifts and talents we've been given with our friends, family, and anyone else who loves music. Our set of sacred music composes most of this summer's concerts, although we might throw in some barbershop along the way. E-mail us at augmentedfourthquartet@gmail.com for more information!

Puyallup and Friends

We faced the worst traffic we had ever seen on the ENTIRE trip in Olympia.  Nathan nearly pulled the steering wheel off the car.  It took us an hour to move 17 miles.  It was NEVER explained. But, we did arrive in one piece and were greeted by Jody's parents.  It was a shame that Jody was in DC, but we got to see our housemates childhood home.  They were, of course, full of Jody stories, but so were we.  :)  They provided us with delicious snacks before our concert, and had advertised so well for our concert that we had our biggest crowd!  Plus, there were three Hillsdale alums there: Hans Zeiger and his family, Jules and her family, and Eric Blanchard.  Afterwards, we caught up with all of them.  Hans gave us a place to perform in Montana at a camp he had worked at near Flathead Lake.  Jules and the rest of us went back to the Lent's for dinner.  After a delicious dinner, Nathan and I went back towards Olympia to pick up Anna Stinogel and took her and Jules and Keaton up to the house of Jeff Myers.  Now, if any of you know anything about Jeff Myers... a very good time was had by all.  :)  Jeff is hilarious.  He told us about his future plans and we showered him with stories (mostly the ones embarrassing me).  We had good cheese, good beer, and some awesome conversations.  We returned home and hit the hay.  Idaho's panhandle was waiting for us.  We had many memories from Washington, but alas... not many pictures.  :(  Sorry.
