Bakersfield Condors News Release
Condor, only to have your dream shattered when you remembered you can't skate or handle a puck? It's ok, you can join the Condors in another way. The Bakersfield Condors are searching for on-ice vocal artists to perform the Star Spangled Banner, loveable mascots to cheer on the home team and cause a little mischief in the stands, and game day workers to make the Condors hockey experience as memorable as possible.
On Monday, Sept. 22, National Anthem tryouts will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Rabobank Arena. Individual singers and small groups are invited to audition for the chance to perform in front of thousands during the season. Those able to sing the Canadian National Anthem are also encouraged to attend. Amy Adams, American Idol finalist from season three, will serve as a guest judge along with Condors front office talent scouts. Call the front office in advance to sign up for a time slot, 324-PUCK (7825).
The annual Job Fair will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Rabobank Theater and Convention Center, located at 1001 Truxtun Ave. Applicants should head to the lobby to check in.

"This is a great chance for people to get their foot in the door," said Condors President Matthew Riley.

Now I have over 15 years of experience as a GM in professional baseball and hockey."
