Miracle host anthem tryouts
The Fort Myers Miracle are looking for the best musical talent in Southwest Florida for national anthem auditions on Saturday, Jan. 17.
A team of judges will score each participant performing the “Star Spangled Banner.” Participants will audition from 1-3 p.m. at Bloomingdale’s Outlet in Miromar Outlets in Estero, to sing at Miracle home games for the 2015 season.
One lucky performer will be selected to sing at a Minnesota Twins Spring Training game in March.
Soloists, instrumentalists and groups are welcome to sing. Participants under the age of 18 will need parental consent on-site before being allowed to perform. Participants are encouraged to pre-register by contacting Savannah Martin at , but may also sign up the day of the event provided time slots are available. Check-in and registration begins at 12:45 p.m.
The Miracle home opener is set for Friday, April 10, against the Charlotte Stone Crabs. The Miracle are scheduled to play 70 home games at the newly renovated Hammond Stadium at the CenturyLink Sports Complex.
“Southwest Florida has so much talent and this event provides a great opportunity to showcase that talent,” said Andrew Seymour, Miracle general manager. “We’re looking for singers of all ages to come out and sing their best rendition of our national anthem and encourage fans to come out to support their performances.”
