Salem RidgeYaks News Release


SALEM, VA - The Salem Avalanche, Class-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, are looking for a new voice behind the microphone at all 70 Avalanche home games this season. They will host an open tryout for talent on Saturday, March 24, from 10AM to Noon at Lewis-Gale Medical Center Field at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium.

"The Public Address Announcer sets the tone for our entire game operation," said Josh Eagan, Avalanche Assistant GM. "We're looking for someone who can excite the fans, create a high-energy atmosphere and keep up with everything that is going on between the foul lines."

The Avalanche encourage all interested applicants to come to the ballpark with their "game-faces" on and be ready to sit up in the Press Box while auditioning. A panel of judges will rate all applicants on voice quality, energy level and enthusiasm. Being well-spoken and articulate are prerequisites for hire.

The Salem Avalanche is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

For more information, please visit the Salem Avalanche office at 1004 Texas St. in Salem. Lewis-Gale Medical Center Field at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium is located in the Salem Civic Center Complex, adjacent to Salem Football Stadium.
