Fireflies in search of National Anthem performers

The Columbia Fireflies are seeking talented soloists and groups to perform the National Anthem at Fireflies home games for the 2019 season. With Opening Night (April 4 at 7:05pm) quickly approaching, National Anthem auditions are being held at Segra Park on Saturday, February 23 and on Monday, March 4. All interested parties must contact the Fireflies to schedule an audition time. Auditions are by appointment only.
Singers, instrumentalists and groups are all invited to audition. Those who have sung the National Anthem at the ballpark in previous seasons must audition again. To schedule an audition contact Brooke Buckley via phone at (803) 888-3047 or by email at [email protected].
Not every performer who auditions will earn a spot to perform before a game. There are 70 home games scheduled between April and August. Performers who are selected will receive four (4) complimentary tickets to the game for the night of their scheduled performance at Segra Park.
