Normal CornBelters News Release
Normal, IL - The Normal CornBelters, presented by Illinois Corn Farmers, are in search of performers to sing the National Anthem this season at The Corn Crib. The CornBelters will play their first home game of the 2013 season at The Corn Crib on Tuesday, May 21 at 7 p.m. versus the Windy City Thunderbolts (CEFCU Opening Night).
The CornBelters are looking for talented, enthusiastic, and open-minded performers to be the pre-game entertainment by singing the National Anthem. The anthem will be performed a cappella by either an individual or a small group. Tryouts will be held on Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at The Corn Crib. If you are unable to attend you may also e-mail a CD, or DVD, of your performance to Jeff Holtke at jholtke@normalbaseball.com.
"These auditions provide a great opportunity for people in the community to come showcase their talents," said CornBelters Game Operations Coordinator, Holtke. "Performers also have a chance to perform the National Anthem in front of a large audience here at the Corn Crib."
Some tips from the CornBelters for giving a great performance include:
1) Using a more straight-forward approach to singing the anthem (put your own style into it, but do not go overboard).
2) The anthem must be sung in 1 minute and 45 seconds due to game-day time constraints (watch your time!).
3) Most importantly, be enthusiastic and have FUN!

They can be purchased in-person at the Mid-Illini Credit Union Box Office, or over the phone at (309) 454-2255 (BALL), during normal business hours.
