Recent Performances:
Intonation has performed the National Anthem at the Augusta Colts games on several occasions, various church functions including youth conferences, senior citizen programs, and the CSRA Gospel Fest. The group was the opening act for the first CSRA Jazz Festival at the Bell Auditorium featuring Najee and Pieces of a Dream. The most rewarding experience for this young group of performers was performing the National Anthem for the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall that was here in Augusta on June 29th, 2008 which was the first time the wall had been to Augusta. They were honored to be asked to do the National Anthem at this event.
Intonation performed at the Augusta Commons on July 4th, 2008 and they performed the National Anthem and God Bless America at the Augusta Green Jackets game the same day.
The three young mem have been singing together as a group for the past two years. They were founded in 2006 as a branch off from Creative Impressions, a local performing arts organization. They wanted to show the community that there are positive young men in the city of Augusta doing great things.
The city of Augusta, Georgia should be proud to have such a positive and inspiring group of young men with a unique sound as Intonation. All members came though the Richmond County Public Schools and Augusta, Georgia.
