The University of Findlay’s Alumni Office and The Arts Partnership of Greater Hancock County present The Blanks, a quartet of friends who sing a cappella music and perform sketch comedy. They love to sing, entertain and make people laugh, so their shows include skits, antics, choreography (the kind a 5-year old could memorize), talking toys as lead singers (!), and mildly effective costume changes. They appeared on eight seasons of the TV show Scrubs as “Ted's Band” or  “The Worthless Peons” – yup, they're those same four guys. Their unique live show appeals to fans of Scrubs but just as equally to fans of the TV show Glee, the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges, and Monty Python. 

To watch them perform click here.
