As the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp prepare for their opening home game on April 4 against the Jackson Generals, the club is holding auditions for a chance to perform the national anthem before a Jumbo Shrimp home game this season.
The auditions will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28, rain or shine, at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
“We are looking forward to hearing local individuals and groups perform and have an opportunity to open each Jumbo Shrimp game in the 2019 season,” Jumbo Shrimp general manager Harold Craw said. “Jumbo Shrimp games at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville are community events, and we are excited about building a lineup of local talent that will be among the highlights of each night of affordable family fun.”
Those who performed during the 2018 Jumbo Shrimp season are not required to audition if they are interested in performing again in 2019, but should still complete and email the registration form, indicating a past performance at a Jumbo Shrimp game.
Groups and individuals interested may schedule an audition time by completing a registration form and emailing it to Director of Promotions & Special Events David Ratz at david@jaxshrimp.com or by faxing it to (904) 358-2845.
The registration form can be found on www.milb.com/jacksonville.
