Anthem Auditions

 

Think you have the "pipes" to sing the National Anthem at T-Bones Stadium or on special occassions "God Bless America"? Did you miss our April tryouts? No worries there still may be time. 

The T-Bones welcome performers of all ages to be a part of the 2019 home baseball schedule singing to open our games for a limited number of open dates. Do you have what it takes? The T-Bones invite performers with an expression of interest to contact:

Frequently asked questions about the Anthem or God Bless America.

What type of submissions do you accept?

We accept mp3 submissions sent via email to [email protected]. We also accept submissions sent into us such as a CD or a flash drive with the performance on the device. Most preferred method is via email.

Is there a certain time limit the performance needs to meet?

All performances should be done in 120 seconds or less. In order for us to execute pre-game ceremonies correctly, this time limit is not flexible.

Can I sing with music in the background or lyrics?

If you are singing, you cannot sing with music in the background. The singing performance must be done a cappella with NO lyric sheets. You may, however, use a pitch pipe right before you start singing. If you’re performing an instrumental version, we cannot have music accompany you in the background.

What do I wear when I perform?

We’re a baseball stadium and it’s summer so it tends to be hot. All performances are live on the field behind home plate, so we advise you check the weather before coming out to the ballpark. Please keep attire appropriate for a family based audience. Please no revealing clothing. We ask that you keep it business casual or patriotic.

What time should I arrive at the stadium for my performance?

Check in is 30 minutes prior to performance time. For example, if the game starts at 7:05pm, you will need to check in NO LATER than 6:35pm for your performance. Those checking in will need to report to the Promotions Table located on the 3rd base side of the concourse and just let a T-Bones representative know that you’re here for the Anthem. About a week prior to your scheduled performance date, you will get an email reminding you of this information. Feel free to park anywhere as our parking at the T-Bones is always FREE!

What if I’m singing God Bless America?

All of the rules above apply to God Bless America. However, the song is usually performed right before the 7th inning stretch, so your check-in time will be at the Top of the 6th inning at the Promotions Table.

What happens if it rains the day I’m scheduled to perform?

In the event of a rain delay, we will do our best to get you scheduled to perform at a later date that’s available in the season. If there isn’t a date made available, we will definitely put you on our schedule first for the following season.

Do I  get tickets to perform?

Only the person(s) performing get complimentary tickets to the game. We allow up to 10 complimentary tickets for those performing. Any additional tickets needed will have to purchased at 913-328-5618 or online at www.tbonesbaseball.com
