Jersey Shore BlueClaws News Release


LAKEWOOD, N.J. - Dreams of performing the National Anthem at FirstEnergy Park will soon become reality for some.

The application process to sing the National Anthem at a Lakewood BlueClaws game begins on Monday, February 16th, with the auditions to be held at the Strand Theater in Lakewood on March 11th, from 6 pm until 9 pm.

Applications are ONLY available at FirstEnergy Park. They can be picked up beginning Monday, February 16th, and they must be returned in person by Friday, February 27th. No email or fax submissions will be accepted.

"The National Anthem means so much to so many people and it is a tradition at every sporting event in America," said BlueClaws General Manager Geoff Brown. "We hope to get a large number of applications so our Anthem performances are as strong as possible."

All National Anthem auditions will be performed a capella. Instruments will be permitted, but only those that do not require electricity. Singers can apply individually or as a group.

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first- served basis and performance times are subject to availability. All applicants will be notified by phone regarding a prospective audition, but applicants are not guaranteed an audition.

Decisions will not be made the day of the event, and all who audition will be notified at a later date with regards to a performance at FirstEnergy Park. All judges' decisions are final.

The Lakewood BlueClaws welcomed 425,166 fans to FirstEnergy Park during the 2008 season which upped their eight-season total to 3,595,378. They have led the South Atlantic League in average or overall attendance in each of their eight seasons.
