Euphonism founded in Washington, D.C.
February 2006
The call went out over Craig's List & Mid-Atlantic A Cappella and the logistics meetings started at the Metro Center
Caribou Coffee shop. Huddled around the sofa, about dozen strangers started talking about a new a cappella group.
The first rehearsal was held in Vienna, VA in early March and as the goals started to solidify, so did the lasting founding
members - Amanda, Gillian, Guy, Jason and Joe. A special thank you to Danielle Sheffler for initiating the idea to start
a new D.C. A Cappella group.
