TRYOUTS FOR SINGING NATIONAL ANTHEM


Oh Say Can You Sing?
Fans Invited to National Anthem Auditions

Moosic, Pa. – The SWB RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) welcome the NEPA area to audition to sing the National Anthem before RailRiders games this upcoming season at PNC Field. The Viewmont Mall in Dickson City will host the tryouts in the court space next to Macy’s on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

Soloists, duets, groups (of 10 or fewer), and instrumentalists are welcomed to audition. A celebrity judge panel will select the lucky contestants who will get to showcase their talents in front of thousands at PNC Field. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s favorite mascots, Champ and Quills, will be on hand to entertain fans. Due to a conflict of interest, they cannot try out themselves, but they will sign autographs, pose for pictures and partake in all the fun.

Reservations to try out will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Those interested in trying out can e-mail RailRiders community relations director, Rachel Mark, at rmark@swbrailriders.com or call her directly at (570) 969-2255 ext. 3140. Reservations will be taken until Feb. 26, but they will close once spots fill up. There will be a stand-by line for those who did not register in advance, however registered performers will be the only ones guaranteed an audition.

The defending IL North champion RailRiders open their 2016 season on Thursday, April 7 with a two-game homestand against the Rochester Red Wings (Minnesota Twins). For tickets or more information, please call (570)-969-BALL (2255) or visit swbrailriders.com.
