DAYTON, OH - A traditional sign that baseball season is just around the corner in the Miami Valley is the Dayton Daily News / Dayton Dragons National Anthem Tryouts at the Dayton Mall and the Mall at Fairfield Commons. Auditions for 2009 National Anthem performers will be Saturday, March 7th at the Dayton Mall (Center Court) from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 8th at the Mall at Fairfield Commons (Main Court) from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The winners will perform the national anthem at Dragons games throughout the season, with the grand prize winner performing at Opening Day 2009 as the Dragons host the Great Lakes Loons at Fifth Third Field on Thursday, April 9th at 7 p.m.

The first 300 entrants were able to pre-register for this event and have been scheduled to perform. Potential singers and musicians who were not able to register may still have a chance to audition. Each day there will be a standby line available on a first-come, first-serve basis for anyone who does not have a spot. At any point if the tryouts run ahead of schedule or a performer does not show, those in the standby line will be chosen to fill the opening. Standby contestants are encouraged to arrive early. There is no guarantee that all standby contestants will have the opportunity to perform.

A panel of local citizens including Dayton Daily News columnists and editors, city officials and community leaders will be judging the event. The panel will make its selections based on voice quality, creative style, stage presence and appearance.
