Fireflies seek National Anthem singers for 2017 season
February 21, 2017
The 2017 Columbia Fireflies season is approaching quickly, and the team is looking for singers, musical artists or groups to perform the national anthem prior to each home game.
“The 2016 season was an incredible year for the Fireflies, which included not only excellent talent on the baseball field, but behind the mic as well,” Fireflies Community Engagement Manager, Elliott Anderson said. “We are excited to host auditions to hear what new and unique talents we can feature at home games this season.”
There are 72 home dates from April to September. Live auditions will be held at Spirit Communications Park, and those interested should reach out to Donald Timmerman by phone – (803) 888-3047 – or email, [email protected]. There is no guarantee that every performer who tries out will be accepted to perform before a game this season.
National Anthem performers will receive four tickets to their game and the opportunity to perform before a live audience at Spirit Communications Park.
Tickets for the 2017 season are on sale now. Visit ColumbiaFireflies.com, the Spirit Communications Park ticket office or call (803) 726-4487 for more information.
