Dragons to Conduct Auditions for Mascot Performers, Green Team, On-Field Hosts for 2025

DAYTON, OHIO—The Dayton Dragons are conducting auditions for several professional entertainment positions with the team.

The Dragons are holding auditions for mascot performers, the Green Team, and on-field entertainment hosts for the 2025 season. The Dragons are seeking fun, energetic, and enthusiastic performers for these positions.

Candidates must be at least 16 years old by January 1, 2025. They must be able to work nights and weekends; have strong communication skills; an outgoing personality; and be reliable, responsible, and confident performing in front of large crowds.

Mascot Performers

The Dragons are especially looking for mascot performers. Dance and athleticism are valuable skills but no previous experience is necessary. Mascot performers must be between 5’4” – 6’2”.

The Dragons’ two primary mascots, Heater and Gem, are the central characters and most visible entertainers at the ballpark. They dance, are part of nearly every skit, and constantly interact with fans as they visit various areas of the ballpark. Mascots also make appearances within the community outside of Dragons games.

What is the Green Team?

Green Team members facilitate all in-game entertainment skits and entertain fans during home games and special events at Day Air Ballpark. Other duties include: selecting contestants, welcoming fans as they enter the stadium, preparing contestants for skits, assisting mascots and hosts, dancing on the dugouts, shooting t-shirts to the crowd, and creating a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

The Host with the Most

The Dragons on-field hosts serve as the emcees of the entire entertainment show that takes place during inning breaks throughout Dragons home games. The hosts introduce contestants, skits, and contests; provide personality and enthusiasm; and deliver witty commentary.
