FORT MYERS, Fla. (Jan. 6, 2015) – ‘Oh, say can you sing?’ The Fort Myers Miracle are looking for the best musical talent in Southwest Florida. The Miracle are hosting national anthem auditions on Saturday, January 17 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Miromar Outlets, 10801 Corkscrew Road in Estero.

A team of judges will score each participant after performing the “Star Spangled Banner.” Participants will be auditioning to sing at Miracle home games for the 2015 season and one lucky performer will be selected to sing at a Minnesota Twins Spring Training game in March.

Soloists, instrumentalists and groups are welcome to sing. Participants under the age of 18 will need parental consent on-site before being allowed to perform. Auditions will take place near Bloomingdale’s The Outlet Store at Miromar Outlets. Participants are encouraged to pre-register by contacting Savannah Martin atSMartin@miromar.com, but may also sign up the day of the event as available time slots allow. Check-in and registration begins at 12:45 p.m.

The Miracle home opener is set for Friday, April 10 against the Charlotte Stone Crabs. The Miracle are scheduled to play 70 home games at the newly renovated Hammond Stadium at the CenturyLink Sports Complex.

“Southwest Florida has so much talent and this event provides a great opportunity to showcase that talent,” said Andrew Seymour, General Manager of the Fort Myers Miracle. “We’re looking for singers of all ages to come out and sing their best rendition of our national anthem and encourage fans to come out to support their performances.”
