National Anthem Auditions Scheduled For March 26

AMARILLO, Texas – The Amarillo Sod Poodles, Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, are now accepting registration for all soloists, duets, and groups (less than four people) interested in singing the National Anthem at a Sod Poodles game this season. The team will host auditions at HODGETOWN on Saturday, March 26 from 10 am to 2 pm.

Interested performers can give their best rendition of either “The Star-Spangled Banner” or “God Bless America” in front of a panel of judges. All performances must be a cappella or with a personal instrument and will be considered for either song of their choosing. Auditions will be performed in a closed, private area during scheduled time slots. Candidates will need to fill out a registration form prior to auditioning and will be contacted to confirm time slots ahead of March 26. Participants will be required to enter HODGETOWN through the home plate gate where they will be directed to sign in and led to the audition area.

Walk-up auditions are permitted but will be heard on a first-come, first-served basis based on availability. Guests who are unable to make it to HODGETOWN for an in-person audition can submit a video submission to the Sod Poodles by emailing a video, or link to a performance to [email protected].

Select participants will be given an opportunity to perform on Opening Night (April 8) or Saturday, July 3 for the Sod Poodles Independence Day Celebration. Many other performers will be contacted by the Sod Poodles after the event to schedule a date to perform at any of the other 67 Sod Poodles’ regular-season home games for the 2022 season. All chosen singers will be given a complimentary ticket to the game(s) for which they will be performing.
